Belmont (TLC zone 20) is a central Bronx zone with something drivers often look for: two DOT relief stands, on Crotona Avenue and Webster Avenue, open to taxis and FHVs. About 2,126 trips a day start here (776,053 from September 2025 to August 2026), almost all by Uber and Lyft. Belmont has the lowest yellow cab share of pickups in the Bronx (0.6%), and its busiest hour of the week is Saturday at 9 p.m.
Trip numbers are TLC Help totals from TLC's yellow, green and Uber/Lyft files. The relief-stand details are from DOT open data, described below.
Belmont at a glance
TLC lists zone 20 in the Bronx with the "Boro Zone" data label, which is not a legal boundary. Its neighbours on TLC's map are Bedford Park, Bronx Park, Claremont/Bathgate, East Tremont, Fordham South and Norwood.
The two relief stands
DOT's relief-stand dataset (vqu8-xef9, checked 2026-10-12) places two stands in zone 20. Matching current sign records exist for both.
DOT describes relief stands as places where drivers can "park and leave their vehicles for up to one hour", and says they "are not taxi stands" (NYC DOT). TLC Rule 80-19(d)(7) lets any driver take a vacant spot, but you must obey the posted vehicle types and time limit; the fine is $50 (Chapter 80). More: relief stand rules and the relief stand finder.
When rides start
Weekdays peak at 8 a.m. (about 140 pickups) and again at 5 p.m. (130). Saturday is the busiest day (about 2,412 pickups against 2,097 on a weekday and 1,989 on a Sunday), and its demand runs into the night: 9 p.m. (150), 8 p.m. (146) and 6 p.m. (144) are its top hours. On Sunday the busiest hour is midnight (about 118).
Weekday mornings bring more arrivals than departures: about 170 drop-offs between 8 and 9 a.m., against 140 pickups.
September 2025 was the quietest month (57,453 pickups) and March 2026 the busiest (72,474).
Where trips go
Bedford Park is the top destination (8.6%), then East Tremont (5.9%), Belmont itself (5.5%), "Outside NYC" (4.7%, TLC zone 265), Norwood (3.8%) and Mount Hope (3.7%). The same zones send trips back: Bedford Park is also the top origin (7.4% of drop-offs).
Fares and pay
The median app trip is 2.55 miles and 13.8 minutes, with a $15.23 fare and $13.20 driver pay (before tips and tolls). Pay per engaged hour is $61.74, counting only time with a rider. App riders tipped 2.5% of the fare, ninth in the Bronx. Airport trips are uncommon but above the Bronx norm: 1.5% of app pickups, eighth in the borough.
Yellow cabs had only 5,021 pickups but 11,949 drop-offs. Their median trip from here was 6.9 miles and $32.12 on the meter.
Who may pick up
Belmont is in TLC's Hail Zone (Chapter 51), so yellow and green cabs may accept hails. For FHV drivers every pickup must be booked through the base or app (80-19(c)(1)). A relief stand is not a pickup point. We found no current taxi-stand sign records in the zone. The citywide lines are in who can pick up where.

Data on this page
Aggregates of public data. They describe trips and vehicles, never individual people.
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. Monthly cells with 1–9 trips are shown as blank (null). Pairs with fewer than 10 trips are not listed.
