Uber Ride Analysis

Uber is an international transportation service founded to make it easier and less expensive to take on-demand rides in major cities across the globe, in contrast to utilizing a standard taxi service. Uber was launched in 2009 by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick with the aim of connecting drivers with riders through the mobile app to allow people to book rides at anytime and in any place.

There are many benefits such as convenience, cost-effective, availability and user experience. Users can request a ride with few clicks on their smartphone. Uber offers various ride options to cater to different needs and budgets. Transparent pricing, cashless transactions and safety are another features of uber.

I am here to analyze the data on Uber rides, downloaded from kaggle in CSV format. It is one of the best places to get data on various domains. For this analysis, I am using Excel for cleaning and Tableau for visualization.

The dataset contains the following fields:

Start_date — Date and Time of starting the ride.

End_date — Date and Time of ending the ride.

Category — Business or Personal.

Start — Starting place.

Stop— Ending place.

Miles — The distance taken for the ride(in miles).

Purpose — The purpose of the ride.
