Ride hailing company Uber is reportedly removing the "split fare" option in April as the company is planning to build a better system for sharing the cost of a ride.
Uber riders in the UK received an email this week alerting them of the shutdown, as spotted by Mashable.
A spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that the feature is on its way out.
"We are in the process of reworking how riders split fares and the feature will be temporarily removed from the Uber app next month," the spokesperson was quoted as saying.
"We know this is a popular feature, so rest assured that we are planning to roll out a new, improved version in the coming months," the spokesperson added.
This change eliminates the ability to split the cost of a ride within the Uber app itself, but it does not stop users from using Venmo, Cash App or other services to make things equal, the report said.
