CabSense shows which street corners in New York City are best for catching a taxi cab. Every street corner in the city is rated from no stars (little cab activity) to 5 stars (lots of cab activity). The rating for each corner is estimated by applying machine learning algorithms to the pick-up locations of over 170 million taxi trips. These ratings change based on the time of day, day of the week, and your current location. * Use the map view to find the best corner near you or at another location * Plan ahead with the time slider to see the best corners at a future time. * Shake 'N Hail to catch a cab
