New York City Taxi and FHV Monthly Pickup and Drop-off Counts by Zone

Monthly aggregated trip counts for New York City's TLC-regulated taxi and for-hire vehicle industries, including FHV - High Volume, Green Cab, and Yellow Taxi services. The data is derived from trip record submissions by companies and technology service providers, compiled by data.cityofnewyork.us. Records were last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal demand fluctuations by comparing Trip Count across different Metric Month values for a specific Zone and Industry.
• Model spatial demand patterns by using Location ID and Borough to predict high-volume Pickup/Dropoff zones for Yellow Taxi services.
• Compare market share between the Green Cab, Yellow Taxi, and FHV - High Volume Industries within a specific Borough over time.
• Forecast future Trip Count for a taxi zone using historical Metric Month and Industry data in a time-series model.

Strengths

• Data is aggregated for accessibility, removing the need to process raw trip records.
• Covers three distinct TLC-regulated Industries (FHV - High Volume, Green Cab, Yellow Taxi) for comparison.
• Provides spatial granularity down to the taxi Zone level with associated Borough.

Limitations

• Underlying sample size and raw row count are unknown, limiting statistical reliability assessment.
• Lacks trip-level details like fare, distance, or time of day, restricting granular analysis.
• Potential for reporting gaps or delays from the original trip record submissions.
