Taxi mobility has lately been a popular subject of research in geography, physics, complex network science, and computer science. Prevalent studies have focused on spatio-temporal variations in taxi mobility and operational strategies for taxis. However, with the advent of e-hailing taxi services, a growing number of scholars have attempted to uncover the impacts of this emerging mode of travel on human mobility and urban dynamics.
