Most Uber Passengers<br />Don’t Tip Their Driver, Study Finds A new study conducted by the National Bureau<br />of Economic Research (NBER) has found that<br />only 16 percent of Uber rides are tipped. In its four weeks of data collection,<br />the NBER found that nearly two-thirds<br />of riders don’t tip at all, and only one<br />percent tip on every trip. The remaining percentage of people only tip<br />on an average of 25 percent of their trips. The study also found that male <br />riders are 23 percent more likely <br />to tip than female riders. In regards to drivers, females were nearly 12 percent<br />more likely to receive a tip than male drivers. According to the study’s author,<br />Uri Gneezy, the lack of tipping<br />may be due to the layout of<br />the ride-hailing app. Uri Gneezy, via The Verge
