Are you supposed to tip your Lyft driver?

While tipping is more or less required for some services like restaurants, rideshare tips for drivers of companies like Lyft and Uber are optional. After a trip is completed, the app will usually display an option to tip. Usually, if the ride is a short distance, then the tips will usually range from $1 to $5.
