Kirt, curious how it works for driver. Does it charge by mile? Does it use GPS for this? On rider side, does it let riders tip?

Hopefully I will be able to answer your questions after a time. As of now I have never even ridden as an Uber passenger.

I remember some press about Lyft letting passengers tip and Uber resisting (no tip needed was one of the early boasts of rideshare).

I'll be losing my cherry this Saturday (cruise ship day) and giving it plenty of time next week (spring break). I got my dual dash cam and my milage apps and my cabbie hat.

(FWIW, Uber has a referral bonus of $100 (referrer and referred?). So it's kinda throwing money away to just go to Uber.com (or via the Uber driver app) to sign up. Get a referral code from someone...)

Cheers,
Kirt
