1. My neighbor is an Uber driver. He is tipped roughly 2% of his rides. He is a 4.87 rated driver, after over 3,000 rides so obviously is a good driver. In other words, many people do NOT tip.

2. Uber. Lyft's driver platform is cumbersome, and poorly designed. They are at least 6 months behind Uber in terms of tech savvy.
