Our History
Amos Tamam, then founder of Metro Shop and President of TaxiTronic in New York City, led the development of the first credit card taximeter, the Metrometer 21R.
Through a successful partnership with the New York City Taxicab and Limousine Commission (TLC), TaxiTronic outfitted over 3,000 taxis with hardware to accept credit cards – a milestone in the history of NYC’s iconic taxi business.
TaxiTronic partnered with Verifone, Inc., the global payments processor, to form Verifone Transportation Systems (VTS) and continue upgrading the taxi payment experience in New York City and beyond.
Verifone Transportation Systems acquired the Curb taxi app in 2015 to offer a viable alternative to Uber and Lyft, helping taxi drivers compete in the rapidly changing on-demand transportation field.
Verifone Transportation Systems separated from Verifone, Inc and, in February 2018, Curb Mobility was born. Today, Curb Mobility continues to lead the way in equipping taxis, riders, and business owners with the transit tools of the future, all while reimagining urban mobility in the process.
