There is a large crowd queuing up in front of ATM's and bank for the last 9 days.

When will the crowd decrease? When will the crowd become lighter?

Are these two options idiomatic here?
 
    • "When will the crowd become lighter?" sounds strange.

    You could use diffuse,disperse, or spread with the same meaning.
    In my opinion, "When will the crowd spread?" sounds the most "idiomatic" of them

    You could also say it in other ways, such as "When will it be less crowded?"
     
    "When will the lines be shorter" is what I would most likely say. Hildy has a good suggestion too.

    I can't think of any circumstance in which I would say "when will the crowd spread."
