The busiest PVTA route during the academic year is the 30 in Amherst, averaging 780 boards/mile, higher than most Boston commuter rail lines

Upon inspection it looks like even the highest rider density Commuter Rail line (Needham) tops out at 775 b/mi

15 minute frequencies + mixed traffic and you can still get better results than hourly frequencies + dedicated ROW...take note...

What happens when you electrify the Needham Line and dramatically boost its frequency? How high can we push those numbers?

Just for a sense of scale--Boston's Blue Line hits 11,253 boards per mile. London's Victoria Line = 42,031 b/mi.

Tokyo's Chiyoda Line = 75,425 b/mi Hong Kong's Tsuen Wan Line = 105/830 b/mi I expect that's close to the upper bound for a single line

by volume through the main shared section; the Lexington Avenue line has about the same volume of people as the lines above

you have an example right near home but you use ones in Asia!
