In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab trips has steadily increased by giuliomagnifico

Succinctly put! The only other item to point out is that between rides/fares, the taxi then drives to the next one while the personal car is parked. So they may actually increase congestion slightly. However, I'm hoping that's minor enough that its not taken into consideration for most of these calculations!
