The methods include: receiving a request to enter a virtual line at a place of interest from a first individual; placing the first individual in the virtual line; tracking a check-in and -out time of the first individual in the virtual line; determining, based on the check-in and -out time, a congestion symbol of the virtual line; and presenting the congestion symbol to a second individual. The methods also include: receiving a request by an individual for a congestion indication for a first and second line at the first and second place of interest, respectively; determining the congestion indications for the first and second lines; and presenting the first and second congestion indications. Systems operating in similar fashion are disclosed herein.
