[Chicago] Interesting Chicago data set - Taxi trips

[Robare, Phillip (TEKSystems)]

I missed it at the time, but back in November the city released information on taxi trips 2013 - 2016.  The announcement with links to the data: http://digital.cityofchicago.org/index.php/chicago-taxi-data-released/

Now New York based data analyst Todd W. Schneider has published a blog post of his analysis (done in R) of the trips in the data http://toddwschneider.com/posts/chicago-taxi-data/.

These show taxi rides declining sharply outside of the central business area and declining generally all over.  No data from Uber or Lyft is available it seems.  Now I just need a spark cluster and pyspark to do my own analysis.

I hope people on this list find this interesting.
