Taxi from Airport

I arrived at 6 am this morning and took a taxi to my home.

The taxi driver told me that he waited 1 1/2 hours at the airport before getting a passenger (me).

My wife remarked that the taxi queue at the airport could stretch for a long distance. If the taxi driver had to wait for more than 1 hour and get a passenger who travels a short distance, the taxi driver can be quite angry.

In my case, I had to travel quite far, so the taxi driver was happy.

It seems to be quite wasteful for a taxi driver to wait so long for a passenger at the airport. We need to make our taxi service more efficient and less wasteful.
