NYC Yellow Taxi Trip Data Analysis (2025)

Overview

This project analyzes the 2025 Yellow Taxi Trip dataset from New York City.
The raw dataset is not included in this repository due to GitHub file size limitations.

---

Why the Dataset Is Not Uploaded to GitHub

GitHub enforces strict file size limits:

• Maximum 25MB per file via web upload
• Maximum 100MB per file via git push
• Large repositories are discouraged for performance and cloning efficiency

Each monthly Yellow Taxi Trip dataset file (Parquet format) ranges from approximately 200MB to 800MB.
Therefore, uploading raw data files directly to this repository is not feasible or recommended.

This repository contains only:

• Data analysis scripts
• Transformation logic
• Aggregations and queries
• Documentation

Raw datasets are intentionally excluded.
