This project investigates the queue system outside the Neon Cactus bar on Thursday nights, focusing on the Piano Bar experience. We aim to analyze wait times, average queue lengths per 5-minute intervals, and determine which line is quicker. With data collected on October 15 from 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM, our findings reveal that Line 2 is both longer and quicker, with optimum entry times around 10 PM when wait times significantly decrease. This analysis serves to enhance the social experience at this popular venue.
