Problem is that there are only two taxi stands out at Hongqiao, and one of them -- the "short ride" queue -- seems specifically reserved for people who just want to drive around the airport parking lot for a while.
The new stands are part of a three-month renovation of the airport aimed at improving traffic flow around the two terminals.
