"Since becoming the first rideshare company to offer in-app tipping, Lyft has been passionate about allowing passengers to recognize and appreciate their drivers for getting them where they need to go," Andrew Woolf, General Manager of Lyft Pennsylvania, said. "Lyft’s Philly passenger and driver community is vibrant and through tipping, drivers have been able to earn more."

To date, Lyft drivers have received over $350 million in tips, the company said.
