Summary:First of all, let's correct all the false information. Most of the time after 12:30 a.m., there is only one flight left to arrive (the 12:53 a.m. Toronto flight) and there are usually around 40 taxis waiting in the holding area, which is quite sufficient for that flight. We get a passenger count from the dispatcher, which he airs over the taxi radio. We really do sympathize with passengers who have been forced to endure flight delays and a long wait for the luggage to arrive, and then go out to see a line up for taxis, but this is not the way it is most of the time. The usual situation is to have a line up of taxis waiting for passengers, not the other way around.
