... then they could take fares around the airport and get matched for an actual ride at the airport without having to wait in line idly. The difference here is that they can make better use of their time while still possibly getting an airport fare, if that's what they desire for some reason.

Was that so difficult?

That's what airport cabbies near where i live in India now do. The queue is really long (such that they may only get 1 or 2 rides the whole day), but now they take Uber/Olacab rides while waiting for their slot.

Often the airport is in the middle of nowhere that really doesn't need frequent local cab service.
