The cost of your taxi ride largely depends on where you're beginning your trip

While the ride sharing companies Uber and Lyft explain the different fares with supply & demand, it appears that the location also has some influence. Each region shows the average fare per mile for trips that started in the region.

Fare per mile is calculated as the base passenger fare divided by the trip length in miles. Based on an analysis of 92 million trips between January and May 2023, exluding 3 milltion trips with destinations outside NYC.
