  Analyzing mismatch in supply and demand of taxis is an important effort to
understand passengers' demand. In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of
rain on the demand for yellow taxis in city-wide as well as in a point of
interest in New York City. Because a pickup event is a realized demand, we
studied empty travel time, the number of pickups per driver, the average amount
of income per drive indices to infer demand from taxis data of 2013. Findings
highlight that the higher demand exists because of many short-trips during the
rain. This paper illustrates the change in passengers' demand increased by the
onset of weather condition.
