Curb, the taxi hailing app, allows users to get a yellow taxi on demand, similar to ordering an Uber. Users will input their desired “to” and “from” addresses and a yellow cab will be sent their way. After the trip, the user will be charged the final cost via a credit card they have stored in the Curb app. Here is how to add your desired payment method to your Curb account.
