I love your visualizations of the NYC Taxi dataset, minimaxir =]
I was just going to mention that if people were interested in exploring this type of data, there exists a Kaggle competition[1] for "Taxi Trajectory Prediction". The data contains the full GPS paths of the taxis and comes with pre-existing scripts you can run online, including a Python script for visualizing the city via taxi paths[2].
There's even a secondary challenge for predicting travel times which include visualizations of taxi travel speed, producing "veins" on the city streets proportional to the speed you can travel along them[3].
