That lessens the advantage of public transit over cars though

Yes it probably makes a small dent in the environmental benefit, but uncomfortable public transit is an even bigger disadvantage because then people take cars instead.

Hardly though, right? You would have to lower it to like maybe 4 people per carriage to match typical car usage. Besides, increasing the number of trains running during peak can solve this.

Lol, not even - more like 2, maybe 3 if you include the driver

Look, I was trying to be charitable :P
