Oh for sure... I'm used to waiting forever for a cab sometimes at JFK, which kind of suggests there's not a whole pool of cabs waiting to pick someone up. I guess I'm surprised that given these volumes cabs have to wait as long as travelers do. Seems like they need a whole foods style queue with multiple lines.

Ride sharing apps have decimated the taxi industry. I find that I must wait longer for a cab than in the past, presumably because there are fewer of them operating.

But this press release suggests otherwise! Apparently there are so many cabs that it's worth it for them to pay money to skip to the front of the line.

Perhaps at that airport it's still lucrative enough to operate a taxi, but the reason for the long wait for a fare is likely the availability of alternative ride-sharing services.
