Taxi drivers are very familiar with the traffic status of urban road networks and often try to make more profit; so, they prefer to choose a more sensible route in the operating process. In this paper, we study the route choice characteristics of taxi drivers. First, we calculate driving distances and operating income and select two groups of high-income and low-income driver samples through GPS data, which are derived from more than 2,000 taxis in Shenzhen City. Then, we extract driving tracks of the two groups of samples and compare their actual paths with the minimum travel time path and the robust optimal path in terms of theory and analyze their travel time reliability. We find that the high-income drivers can make full use of traffic status and find a faster and more reliable route in urban road networks.
