The reason for no tipping is purely to protect the driver from robbery.

Explain this to me please. I fail to see how being able to add a tip on the app would contribute to robbery.

Oh and are you new? Because that's the ONLY way you would think for a second uber does ANYTHING in the interest of its "partners".

I see you ARE new! What a surprise!

Thats what I tell my pax, 'Uber wants there to be no tips to prevent robbery but I'm losing more money to not getting tips than I would to being robbed'

If Uber wanted to prevent robbery due to cash tips they would put tipping IN the app to make cash unnecessary for those riders (and they know there are going to be some) who will tip NO MATTER WHAT Uber tells them. By not adding tipping to the app you could argue they are making robbery more likely, not less, as they are making it necessary for a rider who wants to tip as well as the driver, to carry cash.

Uber doesn't like tipping. It has NOTHING to do with their concerns about robbery. They don't care.
