Train conductors and pilots make a very comfortable living wage. Uber drivers delivering you safely from one place to another do not.
I am an Uber driver, and while I do not give out low ratings for not tipping, if you've made me wait, or done anything else for me to consider giving you a lower rating, and you do tip, you'll still get 5* from me.
