Curb Flow Expands in Newark

In a significant move for urban mobility, Curb, North America's premier taxi solutions and ride-hailing platform, has introduced Curb Flow to Newark, New Jersey. This strategic launch positions the service perfectly for the influx of international visitors expected this summer, making efficient taxi transport more crucial than ever.

At the heart of Newark's importance is its proximity to Newark Liberty International Airport, lying just seven miles from the iconic MetLife Stadium. This summer, the stadium will host one of the world's most-watched sporting events, attracting millions of fans, dignitaries, and media representatives. With Newark poised to be a key entry and exit point, the demand for reliable and effective taxi services cannot be overstated.

Curb Flow revolutionizes ride accessibility by consolidating ride requests from various sources, including street hails, fleet dispatches, and app bookings, all into a single, streamlined system. This means that licensed taxi drivers will have increased access to a greater number of trips, while passengers benefit from improved availability. With Curb Flow, even during significant event surges, the day-to-day taxi services for Newark residents and commuters remain well-supported and efficient.

Dorel Tamam, Curb’s Vice President of the Mobile Business Unit, underscored the importance of this launch: Newark is likely to be among the busiest cities globally this summer, and how visitors move through it could shape their overall impression of the region,” he said. “Curb Flow offers Newark's licensed taxi drivers immediate access to the rising demand. Moreover, it solidifies the local transportation network well beyond the massive foot traffic of the summer season.

The expansion in Newark further enhances Curb’s presence within the New York metropolitan area, where the Curb Flow platform is already operational in New York City. This coordinated network between the two sides of the Hudson River epitomizes one of the most comprehensive licensed taxi systems in North America, designed to maximize opportunities for both rideshare drivers and fleet operators.

In recent developments, Curb Flow has also made notable appearances in Las Vegas and London, with a mission to spark significant growth in urban mobility. Since its initiation in 2023, Curb Flow has driven fourfold increases in trip volumes in regions deploying the platform, and it is now operational in several critical markets such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Reno.

As urban mobility transforms, Curb remains committed to enhancing rider experiences and increasing driver earnings while providing localities with the tools needed to adapt to rising demands. As Newark gears up for a bustling summer and a showcase of global talent and visitors, the introduction of Curb Flow represents a pivotal advantage in achieving smoother urban transportation.

With robust solutions such as Taxi TV and Curb Journey Connect, Curb reaches audiences through targeted advertising, making significant strides in enhancing urban transportation dynamics.

As Curb Flow makes its entry into Newark, it sets a new standard for what transportation can look like in thriving urban centers, ensuring that the travel experience is as dynamic as the city itself.
