Description
Before hailing a New York City (NYC) taxi, residents and tourists do not easily know how much the trip will cost them or how long it may take. Taxis are still heavily used, even with the increase of ride-hailing services like Uber, and a new system has yet to be built to provide customers with these two metrics before taking a trip. This project aims to give riders a quick way to estimate a ride’s cost and duration through an interactive dashboard that allows filtering by pickup and drop-off neighborhoods. This is accomplished by analyzing three years of public data made available by the city of New York and presenting it to users through an interactive dashboard.
