> The driver said that Uber gave him more business, but he didn’t make as much I asked many Uber drivers (outside and inside my own country), and they all LOVED uber (bottom line - more jobs, more money, even if smaller profit margins per job) I think in general it was much more appreciated in third world countries. (And also by me, safety-wise. regular yellow taxi drivers could be extremely dangerous in these places. so many tricks to make on tourists). I truelly cannot remember a negative comment about it. > I was planning to tip him well, but couldn’t find the tip option like the one I’ve seen in the Lyft app I think that the rating system is much more powerful (even economically) than a $$$ tip. A 5-start rating is even better than a $ tip - you will (in the long run, if others rate you high as well) make more jobs (thus more money) if you have a great rating. Same goes the other way around: Giving 1-2 stars is even more criticizing than not leaving a tip - if your average rating is lower you will get less jobs. if it's below some threshold - game over. I myself would prefer (if I were an Uber driver) that you just gave me a pampering 5-star rating and then have a nice day :) (edit: new lines) (edit2: responded to a different quote from the article)
