Curb, a leading taxi technology platform in North America, has announced a partnership with Lyft to bring taxi ride options directly into the Lyft app. The move will see Lyft ride requests integrated into Curb Flow, Curb’s open API that unifies ride demand from multiple sources into a single network.
The integration will first launch in Los Angeles before expanding to other Curb Flow-enabled cities across the United States. It allows Lyft users to book licensed taxis directly through the app, with drivers receiving job offers through their existing Curb in-vehicle systems. Both companies say fares will remain transparent and fixed under their upfront pricing policies.
Curb Flow aggregates bookings from third-party apps, fleet dispatch systems, and traditional street hails. The platform aims to make it easier for drivers to connect with passengers, reduce idle time, and improve fleet efficiency. Curb describes the collaboration as part of its “driver-first mission”, designed to help taxi drivers earn more while offering passengers additional ride options within familiar apps.
Curb’s network currently connects more than 100,000 drivers across over 65 cities in the US, UK, and Canada. In Los Angeles, where Curb Flow has been active for more than a year, driver earnings have reportedly risen by over 20 percent between the first half of 2024 and the same period in 2025.
Since Curb Flow’s launch in 2023, network activity has quadrupled nationwide, covering key markets including New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. The company plans to expand further as the partnership with Lyft develops.
Dorel Tamam, Vice President, Mobile Business Unit at Curb, said: "Drivers shouldn't have to worry about constantly switching between apps or juggling multiple platforms just to find their next ride.
"Now including Lyft, Curb Flow aggregates requests from several providers into a single, centralized system. This lets drivers stay focused on the road instead of the tech. For riders, it means licensed taxis are easier to access right from their phone."
Jeremy Bird, EVP of Driver Experience at Lyft, said: "At Lyft, we are committed to expanding access to reliable transportation while supporting drivers through rideshare.
"This partnership enables us to offer riders more choices and help drivers unlock more opportunities through an integrated, driver-first experience."
