Chicago Rideshare Trips from 2023 to 2024

All trips reported by Transportation Network Providers to the City of Chicago in 2023-2024. Data includes fare, tip, and time information, with privacy protections applied. This version contains three new columns.

Use Cases

• Analyze fare and tip patterns across different times of day and geographic areas within Chicago.
• Model trip demand using rounded time data aggregated to 15-minute intervals.
• Study the impact of privacy measures, such as suppressed census tracts, on spatial analysis of rideshare activity.

Strengths

• Covers two full years of operational data (2023-2024).
• Data is officially reported to and published by the City of Chicago.
• Includes three new columns not present in earlier versions of the dataset.

Limitations

• Fares are rounded to the nearest $2.50 and tips to the nearest $1.00, reducing precision.
• Census tract information is suppressed for some trips, limiting granular geographic analysis.
• Trip times are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes, which may obscure precise temporal patterns.
