re: Do you tip Uber?

I do.

I live in a place where it's not worth the cost and hassle to have a car; public transportation is king, or you can just use your legs or a rideshare.

I walk to work but get off in the early morning hours and don't feel comfortable walking home by myself at that time...regardless of how close it is.

I Uber home 3-4 times a week, on average. I tip them because I only live about 7 blocks from my work and the fee to pick me up is never very much...I appreciate that the drivers still pick me up in spite of that fact and I want to make it worth their while.

Plus, it's still cheaper than gas, insurance and registration from when I used to have a car.
