Californian mobility firm Lyft is integrating its ride requests into North American ride-hailing app Curb’s open API that aggregates ride demand into one cohesive network.

The integration with Lyft will be first available in Los Angeles, before expanding to additional Curb Flow-enabled cities.

Curb Flow unifies ride requests from third-party apps, fleet dispatches and street hails into one platform. In line with Curb’s driver-first mission, this helps drivers connect with passengers faster, increase their earning potential and streamline operations for fleets.

With Lyft integrated, riders can request a taxi directly in the Lyft app, while drivers receive trip offers seamlessly through their existing Curb in-vehicle systems. All rides maintain Lyft and Curb’s commitment to upfront pricing, providing riders with clear, predictable fares and drivers with full transparency. Through close collaboration and Lyft’s high service and quality standards, riders taking a taxi deployed through this partnership can expect the same experience they know on Lyft.

“Drivers shouldn’t have to worry about constantly switching between apps or juggling multiple platforms just to find their next ride,” said Dorel Tamam, vice president at Curb. “Now including Lyft, Curb Flow aggregates requests from several providers into a single, centralised 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.”

Curb’s platform connects more than 100,000 drivers across 65 cities in the USA, UK and Canada. In markets such as Los Angeles, where Curb Flow has been active, the platform has already increased driver earnings by more than 20 per cent, comparing the first half of 2024 with the first half of 2025. The Lyft integration builds on this.

“At Lyft, we are committed to expanding access to reliable transportation while supporting drivers through rideshare,” said Jeremy Bird, executive vice president at Lyft. “This partnership enables us to offer riders more choices and help drivers unlock more opportunities through an integrated, driver-first experience.”

Curb Flow (www.gocurb.com/curb-flow) is active in several major markets such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Since its launch in 2023, Curb’s nationwide network volume has quadrupled, with additional cities coming soon.

Curb (www.gocurb.com) reimagines urban mobility with a driver-first approach, offering upfront pricing and transparency. Its B2B services support transit agencies, healthcare providers and businesses, while Taxi TV and Curb Journey Connect reach billions with targeted advertising.

Founded in 2012, Lyft (www.lyft.com) has grown into a global mobility platform offering a mix of rideshare, taxis, private hire vehicles, executive chauffeur services, car sharing, bikes and scooters across six continents and thousands of cities.
