Source: NYC TLC Trip Record Data (yellow, green, high-volume FHV), Sep 2025 – Aug 2026 · Data as of Oct 12, 2026. Aggregated by TLC Help from TLC trip records, Sep 2025 – Aug 2026 (pickup date; TLC publishes trip files about two months after the month ends and may revise them). 'App' = high-volume for-hire services (Uber, Lyft). Taxi records with a negative fare (reversals) are excluded. Averages, medians and rates use 'clean' trips only: 1 minute to 4 hours, more than 0 and under 150 miles, fare above $0 and under $1,000. 'Fare' is the metered fare_amount for taxis and base_passenger_fare for app trips — before tolls, tips, taxes and surcharges — so it is not what the passenger paid in total. App driver_pay is TLC's 'total driver pay (not including tolls or tips and net of commission, surcharges, or taxes)'. Tips are separate. 'Per engaged hour' divides pay by passenger time only (pickup to drop-off). It leaves out time driving to pickups and waiting for requests, so real hourly earnings are lower; it is not the TLC minimum-pay formula. Medians/rates need ≥250 trips (else null). labels are LocationIDs as strings; zones[] has names, boroughs, service_zone (from taxi_zone_lookup.csv), suggested slugs and neighbouring zone ids (shared boundary, from taxi_zones.zip).

Top and bottom zones, and what explains them

The top of the list is the South Bronx and the Concourse. Mott Haven/Port Morris, West Concourse, East Concourse/Concourse Village, Melrose South and Mount Hope are all in the top 10. The top five zones together had 20.9% of the borough's pickups, so no single area dominates.

The bottom of the list is parks and islands. After Rikers Island, the zones with the fewest pickups are Crotona Park (31,136), City Island (55,780), Pelham Bay Park (66,829), Country Club (93,349), Bronx Park (107,462) and Van Cortlandt Park (190,778). Five of the six are parks, and City Island is a small island.

Some zones send many riders out of the city. For six Bronx zones, the most common destination in TLC records is "Outside NYC" (zone 265): Van Cortlandt Park (31.5% of its pickups), Woodlawn/Wakefield (25.5%), Eastchester (14.5%), City Island (12.9%), Norwood (10.1%) and Bronxdale (6.6%). The records don't say where outside the city those trips ended. A taxi or green cab driver may not refuse a passenger going to Westchester or Nassau County (TLC rule §80-20(a)(1), chapter 80). More on the borough: Bronx location page.

The morning commute shapes the borough. In 32 of the 42 zones with enough trips, the busiest pickup hour (by average pickups per day) is 8am on weekdays. Only a handful peak on weekend evenings, such as West Concourse and Co-Op City (both Saturday 6pm).

Pay per trip follows trip length. Median app driver pay per trip ranges from $11.29 in Eastchester to $24.98 on City Island; the middle Bronx zone is $13.52. Zones with longer typical trips, like City Island and Riverdale/North Riverdale/Fieldston (median fare $19.53), show higher pay per trip. Pay per engaged hour sits in a narrower band, $58.02 to $73.03 per hour with a passenger on board.

More drop-offs than pickups in 8 Bronx zones. Hunts Point is the clearest: 917,811 drop-offs against 811,815 pickups.

Where Bronx trips go

TLC Help's borough-to-borough count for the same 12 months shows 73.8% of Bronx pickups end in the Bronx and 15.7% end in Manhattan. Bronx app pickups were up 10.0% in January–August 2026 against the same months of 2025 in TLC's Open Data counts (c5iv-bn4s). Details: borough-to-borough trip flows and Uber/Lyft trips by borough.

Drop-offs by borough and industry, Sep 2025 – Aug 2026

The Bronx received 32.3 million drop-offs, slightly fewer than its 33.8 million pickups.

Data caveats

Period: pickups that started between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026, the latest 12 months TLC had published on October 12, 2026. TLC publishes trip files about two months after each month ends and may revise them.
Who is counted: yellow taxis, green cabs and high-volume FHVs (Uber, Lyft). Bronx livery and black car trips that don't go through Uber or Lyft are not included, so the borough's total for-hire activity is higher than shown.
Suppressed cells: medians need at least 250 trips, and zone counts of 1–9 are hidden.
Pay: "app median pay per trip" is TLC's driver_pay field, net of commission and excluding tips and tolls. "Pay per engaged hour" counts only time with a passenger, so it is not hourly earnings and not TLC's minimum-pay formula.

What the data can't tell you

How long drivers waited between trips in each zone.
Exact street corners, or where pickups are allowed.
Why a zone is busy. We only note facts the data and map show (parks, islands, destinations).
