Lyft Ends Test Where It Showed Drivers How Often Riders Tip

Lyft Inc. has ended a test that showed some drivers how often a passenger tips, following backlash from riders.

The San Francisco-based rideshare company began the experiment last month, showing drivers “rider tipped on X% of rides” before they decided to accept a trip. As part of the same test, Lyft also began showing them information about how often prospective passengers are ready at pickup.
