Created for New Yorkers by New Yorkers, Waave is the first ride-hailing app that enables New York City taxis to provide upfront fares, surge free pricing, and an estimated time of arrival before passengers hail a trip via their phone.
By choosing Waave, New Yorkers who care about the future of their city can play a vital role in reducing congestion and pollution while enhancing the well being of the city's taxi drivers and public transit system.
THE NEXT GENERATION TAXI APP IS HERE
While ride-hailing apps have made getting around New York City easier and more efficient, the massive increase in for-hire vehicles has contributed to increased traffic congestion and carbon emissions while negatively impacting the livelihoods of New York City's iconic yellow taxi drivers who have kept the city moving for decades.
Waave helps New York City solve these challenges. It does so by enabling yellow taxis to offer the convenience and service that passengers expect without contributing to more traffic on our streets and more pollution in our air.
Waave is committed to great customer service, upfront and surge free pricing, and most importantly, getting you from point A to B quickly and efficiently.
OUR MISSION
Support Local Drivers
New York City taxi drivers have been driving in the city for decades - they know all the shortcuts and best ways to navigate our city. Waave and its drivers have all been approved by the Taxi and Limousine Commission and are professional, fully licensed, insured, and have had thorough background checks.
Surge-Free Pricing
You'll always pay a fixed fare and never have to worry about inflated prices or extra fees. You can also easily connect multiple cards and chose between business and personal rides. Many will be surprised to learn that taxi fares are often less expensive than other e-hail fares for the same routes.
Support Local Transit
The decrease in taxi ridership over the past several years due to the boom in ride-hailing apps has contributed to a reduction in funding for the MTA. Like all taxi rides, $.50 from
every Waave ride ending in New York City goes back to the MTA and $.30 goes toward an improvement fund that helps add more wheelchair accessible vehicles to service the community.
For All New Yorkers
By using a phone based app, Waave ensures that New Yorkers in neighborhoods underserved by traditional taxis and mass transit can depend on Waave for service and know they cannot be refused service based on race or ethnicity.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Built in New York City for New Yorkers, Waave is an independent company that's determined to make the old taxi industry more efficient.
We respect taxi drivers and their knowledge of the city. Ridesharing apps promise you customers, but drivers barely earn any money after fees and taxes. We want to change that and put local cab drivers back in the driver's seat. Our goal is to connect passengers with the most experienced drivers.
