The NYC taxi fares dataset

The dataset that we will be using for this project is the NYC taxi fares dataset, as provided by Kaggle. The original dataset contains a massive 55 million trip records from 2009 to 2015, including data such as the pick up and drop off locations, number of passengers, and pickup datetime. This dataset provides an interesting opportunity to use big datasets in machine learning projects, as well to visualize geolocation data.
