		Be especially cautious when taking a taxi from a taxi queue, for example at the airport, Gambir train station or bus terminals.
		At the airport taxi queue, you are supposed to take the first taxi in the queue, so it may not be possible to select a taxi of your choice.

		Passengers are on a single unbounded queue where the first passenger on the queue takes the first taxi in the stand, if one is there, or waits for the next taxi to arrive.
		The taxi company wants a longer stand so that its cabs will not be turned away as often; it claims that a longer stand will shorten the average waiting time for a passenger.
		An arriving passenger finds a taxi waiting exactly when the system is in one of the two states q_0 and q_1; hence the probability that a passenger finds at least one taxi waiting is p_0+p_1=(1+rho)*(1-rho)=1-rho^2=5/9, or about 55.5%.
