data from chriswong :
22% rides are less 1 mile long
- _delirium 12y agoIt'd be interesting if comparable data could be gotten for different cities. Wonder what the curves would look like for e.g., Boston, SF, London, Athens, Frankfurt.
- simplemind 12y agoSmall nit, but guessing this is crow's flight distance which doesn't equal path distance. Regardless, this still isn't surprising. Short rides happen all the time.
- blaincate 12y ago:-) this data is equal path as measured by odometer : I was lazy and did not use longitude/latitude for distance. The data itself has miles travelled. though a bit surprising : 45% of rides are single person rides. But then I wonder : what's surprising : is it low or is it high?
- mjmahone17 12y agoHow is the data input on # of passengers? Could it be that it's just easier to hit "1 person" all the time regardless? Are there cabbies that always have the same #?
