That's a good move. I think btc's long confirmation time was one of the reasons why it will only apply in tips, not actual fares. No Uber driver wants to spend a whole hour waiting for the completion of payment by the customer. Uber's decision to incorporate bitcoin in their system is however awesome news to many enthusiasts.
The driver will not wait for anything.
The payment process is on the UBER side so any problems with your cc or debit card will be solved by UBER not by the driver.
But still can't find anything official about the tipping app that was launched a few months ago and bitcoin.
It is a good alternate payment but there is a transaction fee when sending bitcoins. But since people who book taxis are those who have extra money so it is not a problem for using bitcoin as payment. Just an alternative method of paying but if you are paying exact fiat money its should be the main method of paying. The idea is good just like using credit card for paying. It is not bad to implement this idea in paying. Also, it is convenient to rich people.
If you think people who drive with a taxi around town are rich people then you really need to dig more on the subject, go out more cause you've got such a biased view on the world it's sad.And no, it's not convenient to really rich people at all, cause that's the moment you don't want to tap twice on things you can solve by one tap.If you really don;t care about money your only words will be "here is my cc card" not let me scan this qr code and see how much tx I pay.
