The objective of this Project is to Predict Cab Fare amount based upon following data attributes in the dataset are as follows:

pickup_datetime - timestamp value indicating when the cab ride started.
pickup_longitude - float for longitude coordinate of where the cab ride started.
pickup_latitude - float for latitude coordinate of where the cab ride started.
dropoff_longitude - float for longitude coordinate of where the cab ride ended.
dropoff_latitude - float for latitude coordinate of where the cab ride ended.
passenger_count - an integer indicating the number of passengers in the cab ride.
