Overview
New York City is well known for the transportation services offered across the 5 boroughs. Including, but not limited to, bikes, taxis, trains, and ferrys. These services allow riders to have a variety of services to travel from one location to another and drivers to have a source of income.
This project will focus on the For-Hire Vehicles (FHVs) in New York City. FHVs are ride-share companies like Uber and Lyft that match drivers with riders, and vice-versa. These companies have their own apps that make this process fast and easy.
The TLC provides publicly accessible trip data on there website.
Goals
- Develop a dashboard for drivers and riders to use on their next trip
- Understand the trip behavior of New Yorkers and find reoccuring patterns
- Determine how Uber and Lyft makes their profits
