Hot Spot NYC: Rideshare Driver

Hot Spot NYC is a long-trip hotspot map for NYC rideshare and taxi drivers. It ranks pickup zones near you by how often long trips have started there, so you spend less time guessing where to wait. Built for drivers who work with Uber, Lyft and other for-hire apps in New York City. WHY DRIVERS USE IT • Long trip guide: see the best nearby spots for 15+ or 25+ mile trips, ranked by historic long-trip rate and distance from where you are. JFK and LaGuardia only rise to the top when they make sense from your location. • Hotspot guide: find busy wait zones across all five boroughs, with Manhattan hubs highlighted when they lead. • Events and street closures: nearby events and closures appear on the map and in alerts, so you can plan around let-outs and blocked streets. • One-tap navigation: turn-by-turn directions to the wait spot inside the app, or hand off to Google Maps or Waze. • Day and night maps: the map switches automatically at sunrise and sunset in NYC, or you can pick Day or Night yourself. • Driver feedback: after you wait at a spot, answer a quick Yes or No. Reports are checked for location and timing and never change the historic trip data. HOW IT WORKS Rankings come from public NYC TLC for-hire trip records (High-Volume For-Hire Vehicle data), weighted by time of day, distance from you and nearby events. TLC publishes this data monthly, about two months behind. Hot Spot NYC shows historic patterns. It does not show live surge, live trip requests or any company's driver data, and no app can promise a fare. HOT SPOT NYC PRO The map is free.
