Any idea if there`s any source from where I can get publicly available data of trip details?
2 Answers
the only source I know is a freedom of information request to NYC's Taxi & Limousine Commission made by FiveThirtyEight. The data are avaible on this Github repo.
Part of the data are also directly available through an API on OpenDataSoft if you prefer ;). Disclaimer: I work for OpenDataSoft.
There are not a lot of trip details but it's a good start. Hope it will help though.
Cheers

1Your answer actually describes data for UBER rides, which was obtained by TLC and shared with 538.– philshemCommented Mar 10, 2016 at 18:57
The accepted answer is actually for UBER rides. The NYC Taxi data was FOIA'd by Chris Whong in 2014. (It's a fun story to read, too.)
Simple download - or as a torrent
You can now get the data directly from the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) - LINK
