They \ntypically set up bus shuttles, or taxis to get people back into town \nafterwards.\nThe result there is always you end up waiting forever and it actually may be \neasier to just walk instead of wait.\nThe amount you pay is irrelevant if everyone is paying it. There still is more \ndemand than there is capacity.\n\nAt the concert the amount of people will stop after some time, and you'd get \nyour bus. But in the scenarios created here the queues will never stop.\n\nSo, no, its not unreliable for cheap free transactions.\nIts unreliable for all types of transactions.\n\n-- \nThomas Zander"}
