In South Africa it's quite possible to live at 99.99% cashless life, which means that I live that way - I have no way to tip drivers. Having wanted to tip an Uber more than once, I've contemplated why they don't have it. I'm heavy-handed with tips and, provided there are others like me, tipping drivers would become the status quo. You could be the most pleasant and respectful passenger, yet still earn a 1 star rating because you don't tip. This means that the service, by virtue of social expectations, would no longer be as cheap as generally indicated. So while I would love to be able to tip (especially on short trips), I can see why Uber is hesitant with the feature.
