Despite the efforts, not everyone is convinced the marshals are the key to keeping the city centre safe.
Tom Schofield was on a night out when he spoke to the BBC.
“It might cause more disorder having a queue or trying to organise drunk people,” says the 38-year-old.
“Everyone is trying to get home and everyone is a bit past it, that might actually cause more disorder because everybody is going to be grouped together fighting for the next taxi.”
Emily Bickerdike agrees: “I used to live in Lincoln, there was a specific taxi rank and it was always a long queue at the end of the night.
“It was constant fights and people pushing in front – it was chaotic,” the 29-year-old says.
However, Chloe Binns, 31, says the marshals could be beneficial.
She says she usually uses private hire vehicles to get home from a night out, but can struggle to find the cars.
“They are difficult to flag down, usually parked in a very odd location – wherever they have been able to pull over,” she says.
“I do think one marshal would struggle to contain people when they have had a drink though.
“It is whoever is first, whoever is loudest, whoever is confident is getting the taxi.”
