Realistically, as more people move to ride-sharing, other people will move to driving more, as it becomes more convenient to find parking in congested city centers.
Just like how more public transportation only serves to move more people, not get vehicles off the road. Any savings in congestion is re-filled by people who weren't driving because their threshold for traffic was too low.
