If you\u2019ve ever called an Uber, Lyft<\/a> or a taxi during rush hour or after a late night out, you know all too well how expensive the ride could be. <\/p>\n

And now to add insult to injury, riders are claiming that popular taxi app, Curb, is supposedly double-charging some of its customers.<\/p>\n

In a post shared to X<\/a> (formerly Twitter), user @chrisalbon wrote, \u201cLast year I took a taxi from SFO [San Francisco International Airport]. During the ride I paid using the Curb app via PayPal. Then at the end the driver said the Curb app didn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I paid again in cash. Welp, it definitely did work. He double charged me. I contacted Curb. They said contact the cab company. I contacted PayPal and reverted it. I thought it was a honest mistake. Then I looked on reddit today and saw this,\u201d the post with over 140,000 views read alongside a screenshot of a Reddit thread complaining about a similar experience.<\/p>\n

For those unaware, Curb connects customers with licensed taxis and, similar to other ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft, it charges users at the end of the ride. <\/p>\n
