Lyft will add a fuel surcharge of 55 cents to each ride given by drivers to offset surging gasoline prices. The company said earlier this week that it would be following Uber, which also announced surcharges this week, and this week it released details of its plan. The company said in a blog post that the surcharge will be effective beginning next week, with all of the money going directly to its drivers. Â The measure will remain in place for at least the next 60 days, Lyft said.Â
