A passenger who ordered a ride through a ride-sharing app received a safety helmet in deplorable condition from the driver, prompting criticism of the service quality. A Facebook user posted photos of the filthy helmet provided by a driver in the consumer group "We Are Consumers," along with a message stating: "I took a ride this morning and got a helmet like this. I'm asking the ride-app drivers to please take better care of passenger helmets. Who would be brave enough to wear this?" The post generated numerous critical comments, with users condemning the driver's negligence and lack of regard for customer safety helmets. Commenters expressed concerns such as: "The condition doesn't match professional service," "Did this come from a garbage pile?" "Report this and give it one star, and ask them to replace the helmet," "Show some care for your own profession," and "This photo smells bad—where did they even get this from?"
