Not sure it takes fewer drivers to satisfy the demands of customers. As Uber like apps make getting a ride cheaper and nicer the useage is presumably going up so there should be more drivers but making less per hour.

I mean this in the sense that any one taxi driver can satisfy more customers with the use of a ride-hailing app than without.

You're right that ride-hailing apps have increased the demand for taxi rides.
