Curb Flow Comes to San Diego: Enhancing Urban Mobility

Curb, renowned as the leading taxi solutions and ride-hailing app in North America, has officially launched its innovative service, Curb Flow, in San Diego, California. This expansion follows successful implementations in Los Angeles and San Francisco, showcasing Curb's commitment to improving transportation options across the state.

A Unified Transit Solution

Curb Flow is designed to optimize the ride-hailing experience by seamlessly integrating ride requests from app bookings, fleet dispatches, and street hails into one consolidated platform. This streamlined approach significantly enhances the connection between drivers and passengers, allowing for faster and more reliable service. In Los Angeles, the launch of Curb Flow resulted in a remarkable 20% increase in driver earnings, while in San Francisco, drivers are enjoying a 26% increase in time spent on trips and a 16% rise in hired miles, thanks to reduced idle times.

San Diego’s thriving tourism sector, which saw approximately 32 million visitors in 2024 alone, is a significant contributor to this initiative. Events such as the iconic San Diego Comic-Con attract over 135,000 people, creating a sustained demand for enhanced transit options. Curb Flow is set to address these transportation challenges by improving fleet efficiency, cutting down wait times, increasing ride availability, and ultimately boosting drivers' earnings.

Meeting the Needs of a Busy City

Dorel Tamam, Vice President and Head of Mobile Business Unit at Curb, emphasizes the pressures that tourism places on San Diego's road systems: "San Diego sees regular boosts in tourism and travel every year, which puts pressure on its roads and transit systems. In high-demand markets like San Diego, Curb Flow connects more riders with licensed taxis faster, reducing idle time and improving trip reliability."

This solution not only provides benefits for drivers but also enhances the overall experience for riders, most notably those requiring immediate transportation during peak periods. Curb has formed strategic partnerships with local fleets and major mobility platforms like Uber, which will refer ride requests directly to taxi drivers through the Curb Flow platform. This collaboration deftly balances cutting-edge technology with a driver-first philosophy, creating a win-win scenario for both users and service providers.

Growth in California and Beyond

Curb's expansion to San Diego illustrates the company's rapid growth trajectory as the leading mobility platform in critical urban markets throughout California. Curb Flow is not limited to California; it is also operational in other major North American cities including New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C. Since its launch in 2023, Curb Flow’s nationwide network volume has seen an astounding fourfold increase, with new markets on the horizon.

The goal is to make ride-hailing a seamless experience across various urban landscapes while enhancing the livelihoods of drivers and meeting the demands of passengers.
