How it works
Plan your shift instead of guessing — in three steps.
- 1
Pick a day and hour
Choose any day of the week and hour — now, or any time you're planning to drive. Jump to "Now" with one tap.
- 2
See where demand clusters
The map shades each NYC zone by how busy it has typically been at that day and hour, from millions of real public trips. A nearby zone that's much busier than yours gets flagged.
- 3
Drive there with one tap
Tap a zone and open it in your own Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps. ridevue points the way — you drive with the app you already use.
What the colors mean
Each zone is shaded by its typical demand for the day and hour you picked — darker/amber is busier.
- Quiet — below-typical demand
- Typical — an average level for that hour
- Busy — above-typical demand
- Peak — among the busiest for that hour
Amenities on your shift
Toggle these layers on the map when you need them:
- Relief stands — FHV-usable park-and-break spots — park free for up to 1 hour (always follow posted signs).
- EV chargers — public NYC stations, DC-fast vs Level-2.
- Restrooms — public restrooms, with open/closed and hours where known.
- Train lines — subway, LIRR, and Metro-North for orientation.
♿ Zones with higher wheelchair-requested (WAV) demand are flagged too.
The honest part
What you see is a typical pattern from history — not a guarantee of rides or earnings. ridevue describes likely demand; it never promises money, and the WAV bonus is set and paid by the platforms, not by ridevue. It's an independent tool, not affiliated with Uber, Lyft, or the NYC TLC.
