Vugo has launched a tipping system for Uber drivers enabling customers to tip their driver using bitcoin, in order to create a hassle-free experience for customers. Uber doesn't allow drivers to accept tips electronically, so if passengers like to tip their driver, it must currently be done in cash. The company is also testing the idea of allowing riders to pay with Bitcoin and then use that money to buy rides from other riders. However, Vugo hopes their app can help Uber-tipping become more widespread.

Some Uber drivers have resolved this issue themselves by adding their Bitcoin address QR code to their business cards. However, Vugo hopes their app can help Uber-tipping become more widespread.
