Vizspiration: Chicago Taxi Trips from Near North Side

During Makeover Monday week 38, Suraj Shah created what might be one of my favorite Makeover Monday vizzes ever.


With his permission, I wanted to try to remake his viz with a different data set. On the last day for DS6 at The Data School, they had a two hour task of creating a viz with the Chicago Taxi data that we used for MM week 6. I figured this might be a perfect data set to give it a go.

I don't like mine nearly as much as Suraj's. It sure was fun creating it though. It took me about 45 min total. There's nothing very complicated about the viz itself, and it's probably this simplicity that I like the most.

Thanks Suraj for the inspiration!! Click on the image below for the interactive version.
