20tph and 2000 per train. 1000 per train isn't even full! Expect more riders with higher frequency, more still with improvements to cleanliness etchttps://twitter.com/apocalypsepony/status/1049625012888641537 …
cutting platform dwell time w/o rebuilding all the stations is just a matter of adding more doors per car

I think it is driven even more by access/egress on the platforms to the mezzanines. I recall the downtown stations being terrible in this regard.
-
that's a factor in moving people around the station, for sure--and some are worse than others--but for getting people into and out of the train quickly, adding more doors to the car works (they did this in Japan in the 90s to great effect!)
-
I think the trouble at the doors stems from crowding in the platforms which is driven by headways and egress. Less people waiting with more trains, but outflow critical to emptying people getting off quickly out of the way to allow boarding.
-
it's related, yes, but you can still cut dwell times with doors alone--then focus on rebuilding/redesigning stations

compare: 3 doors per car on existing Red Line fleet vs 4 per car (typical Yamanote Line fleet) or 6 per car (select carriages on various lines around Tokyo)pic.twitter.com/14cvmlkDqU

Huh, weird, I thought they’d moved in to 4 doors per car. Are they still running those old things?pic.twitter.com/YetdSWZYWY

yes, they run both

Maybe replacing the 50 year old cars is a place to start.
