One interesting observation is that the mean fare is ~ $10. That's the same as 4 subway rides (each one with unlimited transfers and can take you from one end of the city to the other). You need to be pretty rich to be riding a taxi regularly nowadays. Taxi fares have gone up at a far greater rate than subway fares.

Of course, you can also share a taxi... it may be an indulgence to hop on a taxi alone as part of your daily commute, but it becomes much more convenient, private, and cost-effective when in a pair or small group. These taxi data do not seem to capture taxi capacity factor / number of seats filled.
