Salt Lake City residents don’t mess around when they catch a Lyft.

The Beehive State’s capital recently ranked first in the nation for having the most generous Lyft passengers.

Salt Lake City residents ranked ahead of those in Lincoln, Nebraska; Portland, Oregon; Omaha, Nebraska; and Colorado Springs within the top five, according to a survey from the ride-sharing company.

Lyft’s survey reviewed percentage of Lyft rides that end with a tip.

Tips are a major part of the business. According to Lyft, drivers keep 100 percent of the tips they receive. Drivers earn more than $250 million in total combined tips.

“Since our earliest days, Lyft has offered in-app tipping because it’s the right thing to do,” Darcy Nenni, Lyft spokesperson, said in a statement emailed to the Deseret News. “Lyft drivers go above and beyond …… smoothing out countless commutes. The fact that they have collected over a quarter billion dollars in tips is a testament to their hard work and their passengers’ appreciation.”

Other cities included the list were Louisville, Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee; Denver; Memphis, Tennessee; and Minneapolis.

Lyft began operating in Utah in 2014. Robin Hutcheson, who was serving as Salt Lake City’s transportation director at the time, said she wasn’t sure how well the service would do in Utah.

"We know that this type of mobility option is certainly very interesting," Hutcheson said. "Whether it's good or bad is beside the point. It's an evolution in how people are choosing to be transported."
