Fordham South at a glance
TLC lists zone 94 in the Bronx with the "Boro Zone" data label, which does not affect pickup rules. On TLC's map it touches six zones: Bedford Park, Belmont, Claremont/Bathgate, Kingsbridge Heights, Mount Hope and University Heights/Morris Heights.
Evenings and late nights
The weekday peak is at 8 a.m. (about 104 pickups). Saturday is the busiest day (about 1,718 pickups against 1,479 on weekdays), and its top hours are 8, 9 and 10 p.m. (98–102 each). On Sunday the busiest hour is midnight (about 88), and 20.5% of Sunday pickups start between midnight and 5 a.m. Even on weekdays, 9.6% of pickups fall in those hours, more than in any of its six neighbouring zones (7.1% to 8.7%).
Drop-offs run later still: on Sundays 23.7% of arrivals come between midnight and 5 a.m., and on Saturdays the top arrival hour is 11 p.m. (about 108).

September 2025 was the quietest month (38,658 pickups) and March 2026 the busiest (52,355). August 2026 (46,545) was about 20% above September 2025.
Where trips go
Fordham South trips go to the ring of zones around it. Mount Hope is first (6.6%), then Bedford Park (6.3%), University Heights/Morris Heights (5.5%), Belmont and East Tremont (3.8% each), Van Cortlandt Village (3.7%) and Claremont/Bathgate (3.6%). Only 3.2% stay inside the zone and 3.5% leave the city. Arrivals come from the same zones, with Mount Hope again first (7.0% of drop-offs).
Fares and pay
The median app trip is 2.37 miles in 14.2 minutes, with a $15.18 fare and $13.30 driver pay (tips and tolls not included). Because trips are short and slow, pay per engaged hour is only $59.35, 38th of 42 Bronx zones, and that figure already leaves out waiting time. App riders tipped 1.1% of the fare, about $0.20 a trip.
Yellow cab trips from here are shorter than from Bedford Park or Belmont next door: median 5.92 miles and $28.50 on the meter.
Pickup rules and stands
Fordham South is in TLC's Hail Zone (Chapter 51). Yellow and green cabs may take hails; green cabs made 152 pickups here in the year. Uber and Lyft drivers may only take trips booked through the app; picking up a hail can bring a $200–$350 first-violation fine (80-19(c)(1), Chapter 80).

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.
