Lyft riders chime in

I take lyft regularly and have been taking them for years now. Recently in the past few months I have gotten several drivers who's car smells strongly of chemicals. Like so strong I can barely breathe and feel faint. It doesn't smell like any chemicals I'm familiar with either, but all 3 of them I have gotten has all smelled the same. Almost like strong alcohol maybe mixed with ammonia?? I have reported them every time but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? The one I had tonight had only been a lyft driver for one day. Anyone else notice this around the lyft drivers around town?

If I was hauling around strangers in my car, I'd be wiping it with bleach every night.

That sounds like a methy situation.

When we were in Vegas, a lot of cars smelled of disinfectant. I mean, yes it’s Vegas but keeping cars cleaned and fragranced is a thing.
