I cannot remember the exact figure of how many cabs they have but 1200 rings a bell, now consider that there is around 20,000 (small way out estimate) folk out at different venues, and they all want one when they come out, yet there are night buses running empty waisting folks council tax in bus subsidies, all because the bus goes nowhere near there front doors
Que's at every rank some folk being there for nearly an hour this can happen 3 or 4 nights a week.
It is no good saying more cabs need to work nights when some only work days due to other commitments or family, so out of those 1200 you could loose 400 leaving 800 to cover a city the size of Edinburgh
I know the place is saturated with PH but they cannot stop at the overflowing ranks or for wave downs
So you arrived at 3.10 for a 3.30 booking which turned up 5 mins early. That gives you 15 minutes on one night and from that you tell us that folk wait up to an hour 4 or 5 days a week!!!
Edinburgh has nearly 1300 taxis most are looking for these non-existent queues that you say re there. Maybe there are queues on saturday and to a lesser degree a Friday night for an hour or so but that's it.
Stick to sheep and 'roos, Skippy, they're easier to count and obviously give you greater pleasure.
Having dropped in Peebles on the way,I came in through Tole cross through the grass market over the mound to the station, loads of folk wanting cabs all the way
