Description
New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission records for green taxi line trips paid with a credit card in December 2016. The dataset includes features like pickup/dropoff times, locations, passenger counts, and fare details, with 'tip_amount' designated as the target variable. It originates from the TLC and is shared via OpenML.
Use Cases
Predicting taxi tip amounts based on trip features like fare, time, and location.
Analyzing temporal patterns in taxi demand using pickup and dropoff datetime columns.
Comparing trip characteristics between different vendors or service types (street-hail vs. dispatch).
Studying the relationship between passenger count, tolls, surcharges, and the total fare amount.
Strengths
Focuses on a specific, well-defined subset: credit card trips from the green taxi line in a single month.
Includes detailed temporal features with separate columns for pickup and dropoff day, hour, and minute.
Contains multiple fare component columns (mta_tax, improvement_surcharge, tolls_amount) for granular cost analysis.
Limitations
Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
The dataset is limited to one month and one payment type, which may not represent annual or cash-paid trip patterns.
