The final parts of taxiing still need that pink line

[CCairns10]

After landing and receiving taxiing instructions its relatively easy to use the taxiway signs to move in the right direction. But When approaching the required gate or location in the general aviation park there are no signs to help you there, as in real life, I suppose.

It is at this point of the taxi that I turn on the pink line to direct me to the taxi end. It is at this latter point of taxiing that I imagine the pink line to be that man with the table tennis bats to guide me. The thing is that table tennis bat man does not guide aircraft in the taxiways (I think) but only at the final parking area. This man could analogous to the pink line being used at the end of taxi.

What do others think about the final parts of taxiing?

At Zurich airport in the very early 1960's they had cars with flashing lights on top and a large, I believe red or orange, sign on the top saying 'Follow me'. They picked up the plane after it had left the runway and took it to arrivals.

That was the first airport I saw them but I believe there are some around today at some airports. I was at Prague a few months ago and thought I saw some there.
