Taxi Stand and Passengar pick up for Jet Blue. Hi, while i love the new terminal 5, i am extremely dissapointed in the taxi stand / passengar pick up area. It appears that barely any progress was made in making it more of an efficient process. One of my main concerns is that they "Gypsy" taxi drivers (the ones that hussle people to skip the taxi line and ride in their town cars) are a major problem. Regardless of whether it is legal or illegal to solicit people while waiting in line, they park their cars and get out in the pick up area. This is against airport rules and on top of that makes it very uncomfortable for passengars waiting in the Taxi line as they are bombarded with aggressive solicitation. it makes the people waiting in the taxi line very uncomfortable. Why are they allowed to get out of their cars in the waitinig area and do this? I find this causes a major bottleneck, as it clogs multiple lanes, and prevents all lanes from flowing with traffic.
