No, I'd rather you enlighten me as to your perceived flaws because I recon I'm not far off the mark on this one.
It's quite simple Sherlock.
I see no reason why the number of potential customers or the value of their fares will increase or decrease. Demand isn't dependent on the number of vehicles. Meeting that demand is.
If everyone works the same hours, they will all start to go broke.
The more flexible will adapt to the new conditions and change their work pattern accordingly. Some will quickly realise that nobody is working the so called quiet periods and will start to cover those instead.
If the peak period is 2 hours in the evening, some will place this at the end of their shift, others at the start and some half way through. Some will avoid this period altogether and work the quiet bits, because there will be far less competition.
Your logic is flawed because you make assumptions which just don't add up.
For example:
You assume everyone will work the same hours, yet some will have used up their hours on contract work during the day and will not be able to work nights.
Radio bases will alter drivers' shifts to ensure the office is adequately covered at all times. Not all cars will be on shift at the same time.
In short, your logic is trying to have it's cake and eat it.
