It's not obvious from the title, but this is Uber in Australia. Australia doesn't have a culture of tipping generally, because we expect that people are getting paid a living wage by their employers. Not just a minimum wage, one that's sufficient to actually live.
Moving to the US I encountered a huge culture shock when I learnt that there was such a thing as working for almost nothing from your employer and relying entirely on the variable generosity of random strangers to make ends meet. It seemed rather backwards to me.
I don't think this will fly too much in Aus.
