Abstract

Taxi transportations play an important role in most of the big cities in USA. Ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft started to offer competitive and affordable services in recent years. In this paper, we show case the practical usage of data analytics in IT educations by a ride-share analysis. More specifically, we analyze the taxi rides data for the city of Boston, compare the services offered by Uber and Lyft, and discover interesting findings in the shared rides and ride prices.
