There's a shortage of drivers (in the UK at least) https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59158230

It's actually getting really noticeable. It used to be easy for me to hail a taxi or get an Uber from a pub, it's next to impossible now

I haven't read anything like that in Madrid, but I've been noticing it for a couple months now.

Rides in central neighborhoods such as Chamberí used to take 2-3min at most, now it's very common to see waits of 7-8min.
