It is not an "Alert". It is exactly what I said it is. There is a JavaScript that runs on it's own. It redirects you to the Lyft App and subsequently sends you to the App Store to download and install the Lyft App. The app itself is vetted by Apple.
It is safe. It is the auto run of the JavaScript that redirects you from your chosen destination that is the annoyance.
Here are some details that may be helpful:
iPhone 4
iOS 7.1.2

Pop-ups enables
No other programs running in the background.
