East Concourse/Concourse Village (TLC zone 69) is the third-busiest taxi zone in the Bronx. In the 12 months to August 2026, 1,337,734 trips started here, about 3,665 a day, and almost exactly as many ended here (1,334,431). The weekday 8 a.m. hour is one of the biggest in the borough, with about 293 pickups and 312 drop-offs. Most app trips are short (a median of 2.31 miles), and the top destinations are neighboring Bronx zones.
Yellow taxis picked up 17,771 riders here and dropped off 27,606; app pickups were 1,319,333 and green cab pickups 630. TLC Help totaled these from TLC trip records, which leave out black car and livery trips not sent by a high-volume app.
The zone at a glance
Zone 69 has six neighbors on TLC's map: Claremont/Bathgate (47), Melrose South (159), Morrisania/Melrose (167), Mott Haven/Port Morris (168), Mount Hope (169) and West Concourse (247). Only Mott Haven/Port Morris and West Concourse had more pickups in the Bronx (Bronx ranking). TLC calls it a "Boro Zone" in its lookup table, which is a data label, not a rule.
A big morning, a late Saturday
On weekdays, pickups climb fast: about 255 at 7 a.m., 293 at 8 a.m. and 218 at 9 a.m. Drop-offs peak in the same hour, at about 312, so this zone is both a starting point and a destination in the morning rush.
Saturday is a night day. Pickups are highest from 8 to 10 p.m. (about 220 to 226 an hour), and drop-offs stay at about 237 to 243 an hour from 8 to 11 p.m. On Sundays, midnight leads with about 187 pickups and 221 drop-offs.
Month by month
March 2026 was the busiest month (123,312 pickups) and September 2025 the quietest (97,495). The summer of 2026 ran at about 110,000 to 113,000 a month. Yellow taxi pickups ran at about 1,500 to 1,930 a month until May 2026, then dropped by more than half.
Where trips go
West Concourse is the top destination (7.4%), then trips inside the zone (6.8%), Melrose South (5.4%), Mott Haven/Port Morris (4.5%) and Mount Hope (4.4%). The only Manhattan zone in the top ten is Central Harlem North (3.3%). Incoming trips come from the same places, led by West Concourse (6.9%).
Fares and pay
App trips are short but not fast: a median of 2.31 miles in 14.6 minutes, with a $15.38 fare and $13.52 median driver pay, right at the Bronx middle. Because trips are slow for their length, pay per engaged hour ($59.67) is among the lowest in the Bronx (37th of 42). It counts passenger time only, so real hourly pay is lower still. The median yellow trip is 5 miles and $27.06. 4.0% of app pickups paid the MTA Congestion Relief Zone fee, more than in most Bronx zones.
Pickup rules and stands
- Hail Zone: the zone is in TLC's Hail Zone (Chapter 51). Yellow and green cabs may take street hails. App drivers may pick up only through their base (80-19(c)(1)).
- No stands inside: DOT's relief-stand list and current parking-sign records (checked October 2026) show no relief stand or taxi-stand sign in zone 69.
- Closest relief stands: a 2-space taxi/FHV stand on Third Avenue, East 157th to East 158th Street (Melrose South, about 0.26 miles from the zone's edge), and two taxi-only stands on Park Avenue, East 135th to East 138th Street (Mott Haven, about 0.4 miles). See relief stands.

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.
