Curb Mobility grew out of Verifone Transportation Systems, a business with longstanding ties to taxi technology. Verifone acquired the Curb taxi app in 2015, and the transportation unit became an independent company, Curb Mobility, in February 2018.2 Its headquarters are in Long Island City, New York.23
The company develops technology for taxis and other licensed for-hire vehicles, combining ride booking with payments, dispatch and fleet-management tools. Its services also include paratransit, business travel and advertising.23 Curb says its platform supports more than 100,000 taxis and for-hire vehicles globally; its advertising network includes digital and traditional assets in the United States and United Kingdom.3
For riders, the Curb app offers immediate and advance taxi bookings, as well as “Pair & Pay” for paying through the app from inside a participating cab. The supplied website describes availability in more than 100 U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans and San Francisco. The company’s broader network also spans the U.K.34
A notable initiative is Curb Flow, an API-based service that brings ride requests from multiple sources into Curb’s network. The company also works with public agencies on services including paratransit, microtransit and non-emergency medical transportation.45 CEO Amos Tamam is among the company’s named leaders; its leadership team also includes CTO Vishal Dhawan and COO Avi Itzhakov.2
