Abstract:
In recent years, these is a great business increase of app based For-Hire-Vehicle such as Uber and Lyft. Due to their special business models, their customer connections can reach out to many neighborhoods outside of Manhattan. Besides, the no-cash transactions reduces their chances of being targeted by crimes comparing to traditional yellow cabs. So they are more willing to pick up customers from some low income neighborhoods. Some of those for hire vihecle drivers are even come from those neighborhoods. This project uses Null Hypothesis methods proves that Uber and other new FHV(For-Hire-Vehicle) provides more transportations to those areas.
