The TLC & Data

The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), created in 1971, is the agency responsible for licensing and regulating New York City's medallion (yellow) taxis, street hail livery (green) taxis, for-hire vehicles (FHVs), commuter vans, and paratransit vehicles. The TLC collects trip record information for each taxi and for-hire vehicle trip completed by our licensed drivers and vehicles. We receive taxi trip data from the technology service providers (TSPs) that provide electronic metering in each cab, and FHV trip data from the app, community livery, black car, or luxury limousine company, or base, who dispatched the trip.

In each trip record dataset, one row represents a single trip made by a TLC-licensed vehicle.

Data timeline

• 2009: TLC begins to receive taxi trip data from taxi technology providers (now called technology service providers, or TSPs)
• 2013: Green Taxis are added to the fleet. They may only pick up above W 110 St/E 96th St in Manhattan and in the boroughs
• 2015: Taxi data for yellow and green trips is released online through the Open Data portal
• 2015: TLC begins receiving FHV trip data from all bases, including app bases
• 2016: TLC begins publishing FHV trip data from all bases, including app bases o Initial fields are dispatching base, pickup date/time, pickup location
• 2017: TLC begins to receive and publish drop-off date/time and location from all FHV bases
• 2019: TLC creates new license class, High Volume For Hire Services (HVFHS), for companies doing 10,000 + trips per day through their bases1. The license class has additional reporting requirements that create parity with the information received from taxi trips. As of Feb 2019, the companies doing 10k+ trips per day are Uber, Lyft, Via, and Juno

New York City's Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) has defined Taxi Zones, "which are meant to approximate neighborhoods, so people can see which neighborhood a passenger was picked up in, and which neighborhood they were dropped off in" [1], in their TLC Trip Record Data

Context

New York City (NYC) Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) keeps data from all its cabs, and it is freely available to download from its official website. You can access it here. Now, the TLC primarily keeps and manages data for 4 different types of vehicles: - Yellow Taxi: Yellow Medallion Taxicabs: These are the famous NYC yellow taxis that provide transportation exclusively through street hails. The number of taxicabs is limited by a finite number of medallions issued by the TLC. You access this mode of transportation by standing in the street and hailing an available taxi with your hand. The pickups are not pre-arranged. - Green Taxi: Street Hail Livery: The SHL program will allow livery vehicle owners to license and outfit their vehicles with green borough taxi branding, meters, credit card machines, and ultimately the right to accept street hails in addition to pre-arranged rides. - For-Hire Vehicles (FHVs): FHV transportation is accessed by a pre-arrangement with a dispatcher or limo company. These FHVs are not permitted to pick up passengers via street hails, as those rides are not considered pre-arranged.

Complimentary Kernel

• I have made a Kernel especially for this dataset, which uses Clustering, Regression, and Time-Series techniques for this dataset. You can check it out here.

Important Points

• In this dataset, we are considering only the Yellow Taxis Data, for the months of Jan 2015 & Jan-mar 2016.
• If you go over to the website of NYC TLC, and download any of the CSV files, you will find a different format of these files. This is because, the TLC regularly adds more data, alongside updating the existing one.
• One of the key changes that they have made to their data is that, instead of providing the pickup & dropoff coordinates, they have divided the NYC into regions and indexed those regions, and in the CSV files, they have provided these indices.
• Due to this reason only, I have made this dataset using the previous version of the CSV files. This dataset allows me to practice my clustering knowledge alongside my time-series knowledge.
• If you want to leave out the clustering part, then just go over to their website, and download the new CSV files.

These records are generated from the trip record submissions made by yellow taxi Technology Service Providers (TSPs). Each row represents a single trip in a yellow taxi. The trip records include fields capturing pick-up and drop-off dates/times, pick-up and drop-off taxi zone locations, trip distances, itemized fares, rate types, payment types, and driver-reported passenger counts.
