Relief stands and taxi stands
With six relief stands, Gramercy is tied for third place in Manhattan; the borough has 69 in all (DOT data, checked 2026-10-12). Read the type on each sign: four are taxi-only.
DOT's sign file also has current taxi-stand signs on Park Avenue South (East 27th–28th), Irving Place (East 19th–20th) and Union Square East (East 16th–17th). One sign on East 17th Street between Irving Place and Park Avenue South reads "TAXI / FHV STAND". App drivers should still know Rule 80-19(d)(2): a for-hire driver must not pick up passengers at a taxi stand. Read the sign in person, and see can Uber drivers use 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.
