This is why I only use Lyft now. Lyft driver doesn't know if you tip or not because you could tip in app and they won't see the total tip until the next day. So they are rating you without any influence on the tip. And also you are tipping them really base on merit.
An Uber driver will know immediately after the ride if you tip or not because it has to be in cash. So it became more like a bribing system. If you tip well, you will get 5 stars... if you don't then it is up to the driver....
