Optimized ride sharing promises the flexibility of taxis with an efficiency close to that of public transportation. To provide a test environment for ride sharing algorithms, we here propose stochastic models characterizing the spatio-temporal request dynamics of taxis in New York City. On short time scales (48 minutes) and accumulating across spatial variation, we found the number of taxi pick-up events to be Poisson distributed, suggesting that the pick-up events can be modeled by a Poisson process. On long time scales (24 hours), the ride pick-up events can be modeled by an inhomogeneous Poisson process in space and time. Interestingly, the ride requests follow definitive patterns in time, yet vary strongly in space. Furthermore, a Gaussian mixture model of pick-up locations provides a possibility of inferring likely drop-off locations from initial conditions of a ride.
