Ride-Hailing to JFK Airport.

The airport run is where surge pricing stings the most: land at JFK on a rainy Sunday and the fare has doubled before you reach the curb. Bobby is being built to put a stop to that. At launch, every ride to or from John F. Kennedy International will run on the regulated NYC TLC meter, with the price shown before you get in and Bobby's fee set at one flat dollar, never a percentage. No 2.5x after a red-eye, no invented math at Terminal 4. Your driver keeps every cent of the fare.

Built for New York. Launching by the book.

Bobby is preparing for launch and is finalizing all required regulatory registrations and licensing, including applicable approvals from the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).

Our platform is being built with compliance at its core. Services requiring regulatory authorization will not be offered or made available until all applicable licenses, permits, and registrations have been issued.

In the meantime, we invite you to join our waitlist to be among the first to experience Bobby when we officially launch.
