I'm not sure "slightly" is the term I would use. It's an increase of 25% more cabs. Also due there being fewer trips per driver available, more cabbies will be inclined to work the late nights. The few times I have been able to snag a cab late at night, they tell me they'd rather not have to deal with the drunks.

Also my understanding is these new licenses come with a requirement of certain late night hours.
