Uber limits the number of hours a driver can drive per day.

In my experience, almost every driver drives for multiple services.

coud a partial solution involve regulating the lift services such that they report (real time?) the number of minutes a driver has driven to some agency, and are required to check if the driver has sufficient undriven time left to perform a ride?

Seems like we could just solve the real problem by regulating ride sharing services such that they pay their drivers enough that they don't need to work dangerously long shifts in the first place.

how do you then regulate the drivers so that the drivers don't all go hang out some place where it's inconvenient to take rides and nobody gets rides and the drivers suck up a free salary?

NB: I did this to great effect when uber offered me a signing bonus.
