NYC rideshare demand map
Now I know where NYC gets busy — and I can decide before I drive.
tripvue shows Uber, Lyft & WAV drivers where trips cluster, by zone, hour, and day — from millions of real NYC trips. Plan your shift — now or hours ahead — instead of guessing.

What you can do with it
Where do airport runs start? Where do the long trips come from?
Two taps recolor the whole map. Instead of where riders are in general, you see where the trips you actually want typically begin — hour by hour, across the week. A typical pattern from real trip records, not a guarantee.
Airport trips
Trips ending at JFK, LGA and Newark — and where those runs typically start, so you can be in the zone before the wave instead of chasing it.
Long trips
Trips over 10 miles. Fewer pickups, more miles on each one — and the zones that send them are not the zones that look busiest.
Cruise arrivals
Which terminal, which day, roughly how many passengers aboard, and the hours the wave actually comes off the gangway.
We’ll tell you when it gets busy
Turn on notifications and tripvue sends a heads-up before an airport typically heats up, and before a cruise ship docks at a terminal.
What keeps you going
Can you keep going?
Twelve hours in the seat is hard on a body. tripvue maps what keeps you going: relief stands where you can legally park and step away for up to an hour (free), restrooms with posted hours — updated by drivers who’ve actually been there — and EV chargers with the connector detail you need.
Community · Driver reports
Drivers keep it current
The amenity info gets better every shift, because drivers report what they find. Help other drivers — share a restroom’s status, a rating, and notes. Your report is posted here for other drivers to see.
The mission: city restroom data goes stale — drivers fix it at the door, one check at a time. Our goal: the driver-built record becomes the benchmark the city’s own data is measured against. That’s why restroom info is free for every driver, forever.
Restroom status
Reported by drivers, for drivers
Who built it
Built by an NYC driver who runs it every shift.
Not a startup guessing at your job — a working New York driver who also builds software, reading the city’s own trip records the way an engineer would, and driving on the result every night.
