Taxi officials call on Uber to provide tipping in its app
New York

Now officials are moving to require Uber to provide a tipping option in the app. The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission announced a proposal on Monday requiring car services that accept only credit cards to allow passengers to tip the driver using their card.
