Bronx Park (TLC zone 31) behaves like a destination, not a neighbourhood. It averages only about 294 pickups a day (107,462 from September 2025 to August 2026), but Saturdays are 77% busier than weekdays, the biggest weekend jump in the Bronx. Riders arrive in the morning and leave around 5 p.m., more trips end here than start here, and app riders tip more than almost anywhere else in the borough.

These are TLC Help totals from TLC's yellow, green and Uber/Lyft trip files. Direct livery and black car bookings are not in them.

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).

Rules and practical notes

  • Hails: the Bronx is in TLC's Hail Zone (Chapter 51), so yellow and green cabs may accept hails. App drivers may only take booked trips (80-19(c)(1), Chapter 80).
  • Stands: DOT lists no relief stand or taxi stand sign in zone 31 (checked 2026-10-12). Neighbouring Belmont (Crotona Avenue and Webster Avenue) and Pelham Parkway each have a listed relief stand.
  • We do not give venue pickup points or gate rules here, because we found no official TLC source for them. Follow posted signs and who can pick up where.
