I wonder why my guy wandered really slowly up Riverside Ave for like 30 minutes instead of going inland to find a fare. Looks like it's really slow between 11am and 3pm, and constant driving otherwise.
- maxmcd 12y agoThe route information between trips is just a guess. So he could have really just stopped for dinner or something.
- basseq 12y agoI was wondering the same thing, but as they just average the location from the last dropoff to the next pickup, it's almost definite that the driver "went to lunch" in the interim. I saw this trend in the two taxis I looked at.
- oh_sigh 12y agoTaxi drivers don't usually stop for dinner when on shift. The closest they will do is run into a bodega, or stop on the corner and have a streetfood vendor hand them something into the cab.

- warfangle 12y agoOnly has data for begin/end points of the trips. They're just using google directions to move between the sampled data points - they don't have minute by minute gps location of the cab.
