UBER ADDS TIPPING, MATCHING LYFT
Uber is adding a tipping option to its ride-hailing service, a feature that long has been a part of rival Lyft and something Uber drivers have been requesting for years. The new feature debuted in Seattle, Minneapolis and Houston on Tuesday, with more cities to roll out over the next few weeks and every market covered by the end of July, according to an email Uber sent drivers signed by head of U.S. operations Rachel Holt and head of driver experience Aaron Schildkrout. “We’ve heard you,” the email said. “You’ve told us what you want, and now it’s time we step up and give you the driving experience you deserve, because simply put, Uber wouldn’t exist without you.”
