Why is ride-hail tipping so confusing?

If you've ever felt unsure about how much to tip your driver on apps like Uber or Lyft, you're not alone. There's a lot of confusion around tipping etiquette on app-based rides, and much of it can be traced back to Uber's beginnings. As the app that made ride-hailing a thing in the first place, Uber established many of the standards around how we use those services, including the forgoing of tips. But as the ride-hail market has changed, that's become less of a good deal for drivers.

For more information about the app-based drivers versus other workers in the gig economy, check out this study from JPMorgan Chase: https://institute.jpmorganchase.com/institute/research/labor-markets/report-ope-2018.htm

The National Bureau of Economic Research has also done its own study on tipping on app-based rides, which you can find here (paywall):
