Not sure if there is an etiquette per se, but id imagine tipping them a few bucks. Maybe say a five.

I have once because the driver was an older and knew so much about the area he was driving too, I enjoyed myself. He could talk about what happened on every street for like 20 blocks.

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.

I don't think it is required (or expected), but if someone does a good job for me, I always give them a bit extra as a show of appreciation.

frick no and, before the OT bullshite, let me tell you why. I was a rider from day one and the company was doing fine. Now, all of a sudden, the drivers need more? frick that. They made me a deal and I took it. There is no re negotiations now.

Can't you just tip on the app, instead of handing the driver cash? Does it make a difference to the driver if you tip in cash or on the app after the ride is over?

Don't say this. That's like step 4 to always having to tip. Don't feel obligated. If the driver is cool, makes you laugh, is smoking hot, etc, then tip. If it's a normal ride, don't. Pretty soon these average drivers with no credentials will expect 25% like useless college students who wait tables do.

$2 isn’t breaking your bank. Uber is probably fricking the driver around anyway. If you get there safe, give the $2

I do, but not because there's any "etiquette" involved. It's because usually I'm expensing the trip anyway.
