Join long Q or short Q to get pax faster ?
-
TD have the usual thinking that joining a longer Q can get pax faster becos others think so,so he also join in follow the crowd,but is it wise? If the Q is not moving fast u will get stuck for an hr w/o income as yr next customer may be the 20th or the 25th person. If join shorter Q,the next 4 or 5 pax is yr customers.

Are you referring to Airport Qs ??
(Which Taxis Q in town can get stucked for 1hr ?).
Be Specific if you need advices.
Short Q doesn't means got flights coming down (within) the next 1hr......
Queuing at Airport Terminals got timing... T1, T2, T3 & Budget.
It is good to understand & do research on the timing... If you are near AP, you can turbo there... If the timing is not right.... then Zoom back to town or go the shopping malls nearby.
Good Luck...

I m assuming have to wait for an hr or it may be 30 min & more.

Sometimes go AP Q is a gamble....
You may kena short trip....
Waiting is one thing.....
Just go there relax (& toilet)
and talk cock with fellow drivers...

Though I'm not a TD now....
(left industry for good... hopefully) 
But I think I have ample of experiences to share....
from 3pm-4pm (T2)
from 4pm-5pm (T1, T3)
from 5pm-6pm (T2, T3)
from 6pm-7pm (T1, T2)
from 7pm-8pm (T1)
from 8pm-9pm (T2, T3, Budget)
from 9pm-10pm (T3),
from 10pm-11pm (T2, T3)
from 11pm to 12.30am (T1, T2, T3, Budget)
12.30am to 2am (T1, T3, Budget)
** Pls note - SQ flights will only be confirmed 1.5hrs before arrival, hence, either T2 or T3. (A380 flights likely land at T3). Hence the above is only an estimation based on timing & my past experiences. Hopefully it helps. Good Luck.

Just walk to any of the airports and take alook at the Arrival airport schedules. It should be pretty similiar with flights of the same timing.
