On Sunday night, a resident of Algaida arrived at Palma Son Sant Joan Airport on a flight from Valencia. It was gone midnight but there were "a lot of people" at arrivals. And there were a lot of people trying to get a taxi. After waiting around an hour, it was now past 2am, she phoned friends and asked them to pick her up. She adds: "I have worked at the airport three summers in a row and I have never seen so many people waiting for a taxi at this time."
Long queues for taxis at the airport ... especially at night

@james - not to mention it would stop the insane amount of drunk driving on the island. In most parts of the world there is zero 'excuse' (not that there is ever an excuse...) for driving even after one drink because of ease of access to affordable and reliable public transport. These Taxi's here are entitled and dont show up half the time
It should be noted that ride share companies like Uber would solve this problem but the government banned them.
