las tarifas pueden ser muy elevadas y las colas (listas de espera) muy largas


Explanation:
Dependiendo de si se trata de algo físico (una cola en un museo, una tienda etc) o algo más abstracto (en un restaurante, hotel, centro de tratamientos, como un spa, etc) utilizaría "cola" o "lista de espera".
