Ride-hailing leaders Uber and Lyft  on Tuesday both said they are suspending their services that allow for riders to share cars in the United States and Canada as part of the growing effort to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Uber said it will no longer offer its Uber Pool ride option, and Lyft said its shared ride feature will be put on hold for the foreseeable future as the practice of social-distancing continues to grow across more areas of North America. The services allowed riders going in the same direction to carpool in order to get lower fares on their rides.
