Wow. This is awesome. I love the snowfall data correlated with taxi/uber trips.

Cool. My only quibble is that a lot of people in the outer boroughs use car services ( as distinct from Uber ). Perhaps that data is not publicly available?

I wonder how it compares to the rise of Uber. I love my favorite car service and see no reason to give it up.

Is there still the ubiquitous "radio car" which was the shadow taxi service well known to anybody who did late night temp work in the 80s.
