Replication Data for: Scale Effects in Ridesplitting: A Case Study of the City of Chicago

This repository contains modified TNC trip data obtained from the Chicago data portal for the year 2019. The raw trip data is first cleaned by removing trivial and erroneous records. This includes short trips with travel times of less than 2 minutes or distances shorter than 0.1 miles. We also exclude entries with missing pickup or dropoff census tract i.e trips originating or ending outside Chicago. Lastly, we remove trips marked as not authorized as shared trips but coded as shared trips. The filtered data is then aggregated by pickup_hour, 'pickup_date, pickup_day, and pickup_month. We also aggregate by census tracts in addition to the earlier ones for detour plots.
