Uber drivers really wanted in-app tipping for a reason: $600 million made in first year
It's been a year since Uber drivers finally got something they really wanted: tips in its ride-hailing app.
In the year since tips were added, drivers have earned more than $600 million in gratuities on the Uber app. In the past three months tips have gone up 30 percent, to which Uber credits improvements such as pre-set tip amounts based on the ride (longer, pricier rides suggest higher tips) and mid-trip tipping options.
Two months in and tips were at $50 million. Then after six months drivers hit $200 million in tips.
