Actually, you are making stuff up---they are under their promised capacity for the system because the system doesn't meet the fire spec regulations for the promised rate.

'Testing'. They reached it in testing. 🤣

Which makes the tech crunch complete bullshit as fire code didn’t prevent them from reaching that number.

In a 'test'. 🤣

That’s what you do to confirm capacity. How else would you confirm capacity?
1
In real life? You run it during a busy time, following all the rules and see where you get. Max capacity during a closed test means fuck all.

Real life doesn’t give you capacity dummy.
Running it in real life gives you average ridership as there are trips where you don’t fill the vehicle with 100% capacity.

You know a subway doesn't have that problem because you can actually fill every space at full capacity. In glorified taxis, you will have single riders or will you awkwardly split up families and groups?

You *can*, but you *won’t* fill every space at capacity in real life. That won’t give you the capacity number.
You’re still confused between what is capacity and what is average ridership.
They needed to test to confirm capacity number in the contract.

Nope. Theoretical capacity and real capacity.

Theoretical capacity is determined through simulator or other means.
Real capacity is determined in real life testing.
Just because TBC can do 4,400/hr CAPACITY doesn’t mean they’ll get 4,400/hr AVERAGE RIDERSHIP. But 4,400/hr CAPACITY is what they promised in the contract.
