Night Moves by HaoChe Hung

Navigating New York City after dark can be challenging, especially for its vibrant youth who thrive in the city's nightlife. As nightlife hotspots and affordable residential areas increasingly diverge from the city center, reliance on traditional public transit like the subway becomes impractical for late-night journeys. Nighttime taxi rides, therefore, become the primary alternative, ensuring safe passage home after evening revelries.

This dashboard introduces a navigational tool designed to analyze night taxi ridership, mapping out the most frequented routes from bustling nightlife clusters to residential areas popular among young people. Users can explore significant time differences between opting for a taxi versus the subway, and identify nightlife hubs with the highest demand for taxi services. These insights highlight critical areas in need of new, affordable mobility solutions to enhance nighttime safety and accessibility for young city dwellers.

Empowering the younger generation with data to navigate nocturnal urban limitations, this dashboard eases the struggle for nighttime mobility in New York City. Serving as both a practical tool for safer travel and a foundation for advocating more inclusive transportation policies, the dashboard supports the city's nocturnal population effectively.
