UberPool is offering unlimited monthly passes for morning and afternoon commuting hours in Manhattan. And according to a Time Out New York post, if used twice a day for commuting, it'll cost $37.60 less than an MTA monthly MetroCard. 

The four-week unlimited commute pass can be purchased for $79, and the eight-week unlimited commute pass is $159. They will be available from now to September and were created by a promotion between Uber and Guilt City.

Anyone interested in buying a pass can sign up here. Anyone who uses a friend's referral on Gilt can also get an extra $25 off their pass.  

But here's a big caveat: Though this is an unlimited pass, locations are limited to Manhattan, below 125th Street. The pass can also only be used during weekday commutes, not the weekends. They can be used between 7 and 10 a.m. and 5 and 8 p.m.
