## NYC Green Taxis

NYC Green Taxis, also known as Boro Taxis, were introduced by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) to serve the outer boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island) and upper Manhattan (above East 96th Street and West 110th Street). These green-colored taxis aim to improve taxi service availability in areas that were traditionally underserved by the iconic yellow cabs.

## Analysis Insights

From the analysis, the following insights were obtained:

1. **Peak Pickup and Drop-off Hours**: The highest volume of pickups and drop-offs occurs between 5 PM and 7 PM, with 6 PM being the peak hour for pickups and 7 PM for drop-offs.

2. **Consistent High Volume**: The trip volume remains high from 5 PM to 8 PM, indicating these are the busiest hours for NYC Green Taxis.

3. **Midday and Late Night Trends**: There is lower activity during midday and late night hours, suggesting lower demand during these times.
