East Flatbush/Farragut (TLC zone 71) is a commuter-shaped neighborhood zone. From September 2025 to August 2026, 1,113,516 trips started here (about 3,051 a day), 27th of 61 Brooklyn zones. The week's busiest hour is 8 a.m. on weekdays. Trips are short and stay close: the top ten destinations, including the zone itself, each take between 3% and 10% of pickups, and no single destination dominates.
Figures come from TLC trip records for yellow, green and high-volume app (Uber, Lyft) trips, aggregated by TLC Help. Black car and livery trips that are not app-dispatched are not included.
Zone 71 at a glance
TLC's lookup table lists zone 71 as a Brooklyn "Boro Zone". The label is a data category, not a legal zone. It borders five zones on TLC's map: East Flatbush/Remsen Village, Erasmus, Flatbush/Ditmas Park, Flatlands and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.
Pickups (1,113,516) and drop-offs (1,108,674) are almost even. Apps did 97.9% of pickups; yellow cabs had 23,063 and green cabs 725.
When rides start
The weekday morning peak is sharp. Pickups rise from about 130 an hour at 6 a.m. to about 192 at 7 a.m. and 233 at 8 a.m., then fall to about 124 by 11 a.m. The afternoon is a broad hump of about 158 to 170 an hour from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturdays (about 3,357 pickups) build toward a long, flat evening. Every hour from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. averages about 180 to 186 pickups, with 8 p.m. on top. Sunday (about 3,014) peaks in the morning, at about 165 in the 10 a.m. hour, and is nearly as busy at 2 p.m. A weekday averages about 2,997 pickups.
Month by month
March 2026 was the busiest month (101,644 pickups) and September 2025 the quietest (81,755). App pickups grew from 79,347 in September to about 92,000 to 95,000 a month in summer 2026.
Yellow pickups fell from 2,424 in May 2026 to 905 in June and 763 by August, the same June break seen in many Brooklyn zones. The data does not explain it.

Fares, trip length and driver pay
The median app trip is 2.19 miles and 13.6 minutes, with a $14.77 fare. The median driver pay is $12.24 before tips and tolls, 45th of 61 in Brooklyn. Tips are low, at 1.9% of fares and $0.37 a trip on average.
The map above uses another measure: pay per hour with a passenger on board, $56.28 here, 60th of 61 in Brooklyn. It ignores the time spent driving to pickups and waiting, so it is not hourly earnings and not TLC's minimum-pay formula. To check pay against the TLC minimum, use the pay estimator.
Only 2.0% of app pickups go to an airport and 2.6% into the Manhattan congestion zone. Yellow trips are a median 4.2 miles and $25.46 on the meter.
Pickup rules and stands nearby
Zone 71 is in TLC's Hail Zone. Yellow and green cabs may take hails; app and other for-hire drivers may only pick up riders dispatched by their base (80-19(c)(1), Chapter 80). See who can pick up where. This is general information, not legal advice.
Stands: DOT's data shows no relief stand, taxi stand or taxi/FHV pickup zone inside zone 71 (checked October 12, 2026). Two neighboring zones do have them: Erasmus has a 1-hour taxi/FHV relief stand on Beverley Road and an evening taxi stand on Tilden Avenue, and East Flatbush/Remsen Village has a taxi stand on Utica Avenue.

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.
