Zone 114 at a glance

When rides start and end here
Read the hour chart from right to left across midnight. On Saturday, pickups climb to 826 in the 11 p.m. hour; then Sunday's midnight (862) and 1 a.m. (876) are even higher, and 2 a.m. still has 692. Friday night looks similar on a smaller scale: the first five hours of Saturday hold 32.8% of Saturday's pickups.
Weekdays peak at 10 p.m. (494), and 13.7% of weekday pickups are between midnight and 5 a.m. Mornings are almost empty: only 2.3% of Saturday pickups happen between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Drop-offs peak much earlier, at 7 p.m. on both weekdays and Saturdays.
Where trips from here go
The top code is "Outside NYC" (zone 265) at 5.0% of pickups, just ahead of East Village (4.9%). TriBeCa/Civic Center (3.8%) and West Village (3.4%) follow. Riders arriving here most often come from East Village (6.1% of drop-offs), TriBeCa/Civic Center (4.5%) and Union Sq (4.3%). Airport trips are rare: 4.1% of app pickups and 0.5% of yellow pickups.
Yellow, green and app
App: 1,410,153 pickups. Yellow: 651,892, a 31.6% share that matches the middle of Manhattan's Yellow Zone zones exactly. Green: 21 pickups and 537 drop-offs. Green cabs may not take hails or begin pre-arranged trips here (who can pick up where).
Fares and driver pay
Median yellow trip: 1.78 miles, 12.6 minutes, $14.20 on the meter, with a 23.5% card tip rate. Median app trip: 2.53 miles, a $24.95 fare and $17.56 driver pay. App riders tipped $1.55 on average (4.8% of the fare). Pay per engaged hour ($65.91) leaves out waiting time, so it is not hourly earnings.
Legal lines
Zone 114 is fully inside the MTA Congestion Relief Zone, the 96th Street congestion-surcharge area and the Hail Exclusionary Zone. The CRZ fee showed up on 99.5% of app pickups and 98.8% of yellow pickups. Late-night trips are not free of it: the per-trip charge to riders ($1.50 app, $0.75 taxi, as of 2026-10-12) applies at all hours (congestion pricing peak hours).
Stands and practical notes
DOT's sign file (checked 2026-10-12) shows two taxi-stand locations:
- Lafayette Street, between Great Jones Street and East 4th Street (east side), signed "TAXI STAND 7PM-7AM ALL DAYS". Those hours match the zone's busy late nights.
- Great Jones Street, between the Bowery and Lafayette Street (south side), no hours on the sign.
There is no DOT relief stand in zone 114. For yellow drivers, a taxi stand is first come, first served: take the rear position (Rule 80-19(d)(4)). App drivers may not pick up at a taxi stand (80-19(d)(2)). See taxi stand rules.

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.
