Summary
Boston’s taxi drivers are now getting a shot at the rideshare game — thanks to a new one-year pilot letting them accept Uber and Lyft ride requests through apps like Curb and ARRO. The city and police department hope this bridges the gap between old-school taxis and new rideshare tech, boosting driver pay, cutting wait times, and giving riders more options — all while keeping pricing familiar from Uber and Lyft. No airport trips included, and street hails still use meter rates. It’s a bold move to modernize the industry and support immigrant-owned taxi businesses — with the city watching closely to see if this win-win sticks.
