You can see that from about midnight to around 5: 18 in the morning, speed increases, and at that point, things turn around, and they get slower and slower and slower until about 8: 35 in the morning, when they end up at around 11 and a half miles per hour. The average taxi is going 11 and a half miles per hour on our city streets, and it turns out it stays that way for the entire day. (Laughter) So I said to myself, I guess there's no rush hour in New York City. There's just a rush day. Makes sense. And this is important for a couple of reasons.
Pueden verlo desde la media noche hasta las 5: 18 de la mañana, la velocidad aumenta, y en ese punto, las cosas cambian, y bajan la velocidad más y más hasta las 8: 35 am. cuando terminan a 18 km hora, el taxi promedio va a 18 km hora y se mantiene así el día completo. (Risas) Entonces, me dije, creo que no hay hora punta de tráfico, hay día punta. Tiene sentido. Y esto es importante por un par de razones.
