I'd expect it to be positively correlated with nice weather in tourist destinations, because more people would be in town at all. I'd expect it to be inversely correlated in major urban centers, because the number of people needing to get around will have less seasonal variability, and walking, waiting for a bus and riding a bike are all relatively more attractive options when it's not gross outside.
- moorhosj 8y agoPretty big overlap between tourist destinations and urban centers.
- bunderbunder 8y agoThere is, but, percentage-wise, the seasonal swing to the number of people in town is much bigger for Traverse City, MI than it is for New York, NY.
- moorhosj 8y agoThe discussion was about Uber's overall revenue. I imagine a far larger percent of their revenue comes from NYC tourists than Traverse City tourists. Traverse City gets about 3.5 million tourists a year [1] compared to 63 million for NYC [2].
