I guess I was wondering if it could predict subsequent economic activity. There were people for a while taking satellite pictures of Walmart parking lots, trying to predict retail sales better than other indicators.
My guess is that this would be quite useful for real estate and i'd be shocked if investors here aren't using it for that
Probably could tell something about economic health too to see how often people are going to shopping districts, how many tourists are going to times square etc

I agree with Matt. It’s fun to play with data sets like this. Did you think about applying any “hypothesis free“ machine learning?
No but that could be interesting! Do you have an idea in mind of something to learn from that?
I want to play with subway data
Noted! I'll make a thing for it
