Not only are Lyft rides becoming more and more expensive, but they are a hazard to your health.

Not sure how to broach the subject so I will just throw it out there.

Lyft cars stink to the point that I have to hold my breath or resort to mouth breathing.

In cooler weather I can open a window, but in this oppressive heat that is not an option.

I am assuming it’s the food the drivers consume in their cars.

Perhaps spices that need ventilation or the harsh alternative…body odor.

I have ordered a Lyft 3 days in a row, something I never do. It is just too hot to walk or take public transportation.

Each time I exited the Lyft gasping for fresh air.

I cannot say anything to my designated driver, but this is definitely a precarious situation.

Either the heat has to dissipate or I will need to hit the oppressively hot pavement again.

I have the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, That Smell, on a permanent loop in my head…

Ooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooh that smell…

Perhaps it is time to dust off my stockpile of masks and instead of drinking bleach as King Orange suggests, I can use the tried and true bleach solution to eradicate the stench in the car.
