WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - A new feature on a mobile app is making it easier for people to hail cabs.
The Curb app has been around for years, connecting people to taxi cab drivers. But now it’s offering flat rates, essentially getting rid of meters. It comes as Uber and Lyft wait times and prices increase. We feel really well positioned with this new offering around upfront pricing and really the curiosity on the part of the riding public for other alternatives. We feel really strongly that we’re in a good position to help not just taxi drivers and taxi fleets but help the public as well. We’re all very optimistic about these next few months, Jason Goss, VP Head of Mobile, Curb Mobility said.

This Week in Apps: An Apple event, more Clubhouse clones and an app store antitrust hearing
Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the weekly TechCrunch series that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy. The app industry is as hot as ever, with a record 218 billion downloads and $143 billion in global consumer spend in 2020.
Consumers last year also spent 3.5 trillion minutes using apps on Android devices alone. And in the U.S., app usage surged ahead of the time spent watching live TV. Currently, the average American watches 3.7 hours of live TV per day, but now spends four hours per day on their mobile devices.
