We have direct evidence to the contrary. Uber disallows tipping and pays somewhat substantially less than Lyft.<p>It&#x27;s great that you want people to be paid sanely for the job they do, but the fact of the matter is people largely aren&#x27;t in this industry. Uber doesn&#x27;t allow tipping, and doesn&#x27;t pay particularly well. After factoring in depreciation of their vehicle most drivers are going to be bringing in something like $10&#x2F;hr.<p>We live in a culture where businesses won&#x27;t pay their employees sanely. Until that is fixed I want the ability to show my gratitude for a job well done with a tip. &quot;Blah blah use cash!&quot; Sure I can do that, but it&#x27;s inconvenient for a number of reasons and the reality is that most people won&#x27;t do it.
