Understanding the spatial variation of taxi ridership is of critical importance to many government agencies and taxi companies because taxis’ location dependency on spatial pattern of passenger demand results in spatially unbalanced taxi demand and supply. This study presents an analysis of the spatial distribution of taxi ridership by using large-scale GPS taxi trip data collected from Seoul, South Korea. To capture the spatial variations better in taxi ridership, GPS entities were disaggregated into units of a uniform size with a grid cell decomposition method. A geographically weighted spatial regression was applied to model spatial correlations of factors associated with transit and urban density to taxi ridership. Results from the proposed method demonstrated a higher relationship between taxi and subway ridership in the regions where lower accessibility to subway stations existed. In these regions, taxis were found to perform as a complementary mode to subway. In residential and commercial districts, this analysis showed that population and employment were highly related to taxi ridership. In contrast, in central business districts it was the building area (floor space), rather than population and employment, that was highly related to taxi ridership.
