Curb Launches in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County

In a major step forward for urban mobility, Curb, North America's premier solution for taxi and ride-hailing services, has announced the expansion of its Curb Flow technology to Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County. This expansion, effective immediately, seeks to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of licensed taxis in these fast-growing Florida regions.

Curb Flow is not merely a ride-hailing app; it integrates various ride demand sources, including street hails, fleet dispatches, and app bookings into a seamless operational model. With Miami's vibrant tourism sector and population surge, the demand for efficient transportation options has skyrocketed. In 2024, Florida welcomed a whopping 142.9 million visitors, the state’s highest figure yet. This presents a golden opportunity for enhanced taxi services.

Dorel Tamam, Director of the Mobile Business Unit at Curb, emphasized the need for efficient taxi services in these bustling markets. He stated that “Curb Flow is designed to minimize idle time for drivers while making licensed taxis more easily accessible for passengers. Our goal is to foster quicker service for riders and improved earning opportunities for drivers, ultimately contributing to better city mobility.”

Statistically, Miami is the sixth most congested city in the United States, with drivers losing approximately 74 hours per year stuck in traffic according to INRIX's Global Traffic Scorecard for 2024. By leveraging Curb Flow, which significantly boosts driver efficiency and optimizes vehicle distribution, the company aims not only to reduce passenger wait times but also to support broader efforts aimed at alleviating traffic woes.

Raul A. Gonzalez, Chief of Passenger Transportation Regulation at Miami-Dade County, echoed this sentiment, pointing out the commitment of the county to pursue smarter transportation solutions. “As the landscape of commuting evolves with technological advancements and changing commuter needs, solutions like Curb Flow are vital. Curb Flow bolsters the overall transportation framework by ensuring taxis remain competitive, visible, and accessible.”

Curb Flow’s capability to merge multiple demand sources allows passengers to secure licensed rides seamlessly while also enabling fleets to optimize vehicle utilization. As Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County strategize about managing traffic and urban mobility improvements, Curb Flow acts as a versatile, technology-driven solution that complements existing transportation initiatives.

The Curb platform connects over 100,000 drivers across more than 65 cities in the U.S. and the U.K., facilitating millions of rides and processing billions in payment transactions every year. Curb is characterized by a driver-centric approach, emphasizing transparency and upfront pricing. The company also extends its B2B services to transit agencies, healthcare providers, and various businesses.

Impact on Urban Mobility

The increasing demand for expedited and reliable transportation in densely populated urban areas cannot be overstated, and Curb Flow stands at the forefront of addressing these needs. The system not only promises to boost the earnings of taxi drivers but also heralds a new era of efficient urban mobility. By integrating diverse ride-hailing options, Curb Flow facilitates timely access for passengers while allowing drivers to maximize their potential earnings.

Curb is strategically positioned to redefine urban transportation, pivoting towards a future where licensed taxis are more integrated into the digital ride-hailing ecosystem. This growth not only aims to enhance the user experience for passengers but also strengthens the overall infrastructure for urban transportation in Miami and Palm Beach County.
