This interactive visualization made using Tableau visualizes the preferences of NYC residents when it comes to commuting either using the old fashioned yellow cabs or Uber. This dashboard consists of two visualizations.
The first visualization shows a detailed view of the traveling habits of NYC residents. It is further divided into two subparts. Part A is a bar graph showing the average taxi rides for each one hour in a day and we can see that 6 pm to 7 pm is the busiest hour with people returning from offices. Part B focuses on the average taxis rides per day in that particular hour. The interconnectivity among the two graphs is excellent. Also hovering over each bar or point shows the details.
The second visualization focuses on the percent difference in rides of Uber, yellow taxis and other services over time. There is an evident shift in preferences of the NYC residents towards Uber. The curve for Uber is rocketing compared to yellow taxis and All other which are plummeting. One excellent feature of the visualization is that the audience can see the value for all the three line curves at a point in time when hovering. But this visualization only focuses on data of a short period of July to September of 2014. More insights can be gained if we can have the recent data on this as it might be possible that the craze for Uber has subsided.
Overall, we get a complete picture of the traveling habits of NYC residents.
