I haven't paid close attention, but the couple times I did look, Uber trips in Yellows show a $0.00 tip. When you accept the ride it says Uber passengers tip after the ride is over and you will be notified. I have never received a notification. Is Uber keeping the tip? If so, there needs to be an investigation. I wonder if there's even an option on the app to tip Yellows.
Uber can keep their prices low by adding more vehicles , more rides for them less money for the driver.
Anything that allows my cab to make more money, I’m ok with
Ultimately the city gave the right to street hail to medallion yellow taxis and that right has been clouded by persuasion, that it should not apply. But that persuasion will eventually fad back to the premise that we need to control the amount of cars , we need to regulate those cars to accommodate all people in the city, and we need to make sure all make a decent living —yellow cabs were chosen for that and yellow cabs will return
Originally uber should have only been allowed to use their app in taxis
I confirmed that passengers can tip Yellows through the app. A passenger told me she tipped $6.00. I got $0.00. There's no way this is a 'mistake,' Uber set up the payment system through the T-PEP and everything else works fine. This is a major story IMO. I have contacted the TLC and NYTWA. If you want to cover it I think it would be a very worthwhile story. Reaching out to drivers would be very helpful as well.
An update on this, I believe the tips are in fact being deposited in the new paypal system which replaced the Commercial/Government card WAV /TIF payment system. It's confusing to verify because the deposits are not itemized.
