Taxis and Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) are important components of the urban transportation system. An accurate short-term forecast of passenger demand can help operators better allocate taxi or TNC services to achieve supply-demand balance in real time. As a result, drivers can improve the efficiency of passenger pick-ups, thereby reduc
