Boston taxis will be able to pick up passengers who request Uber and Lyft rides under a new pilot program announced by Mayor Michelle Wu Tuesday.

Customers who get a cab through a ride-hailing app will still see the cost upfront on their phone as opposed to the typical taxi fare structure.

"The goal of the pilot is to give Boston passengers more options to hail a taxi and to allow Boston's licensed taxis to participate directly in meeting the demand for trips generated through Uber and Lyft," the city said in a news release.
