   Ok, if I understand this correctly, in order to load up 1,200 people   
   per train at the three new stations, each station will have to board   
   400 people _per train_ _per stop_.  I don't know the logistics, but that   
   seems like a lot of people per stop.  Assuming the crowd is distributed   
   evenly on the platform, that's 40 people per car.  But in reality, I don't   
   expect distribution to be so even.  If each train does board that many,   
   I would expect long dwell times at the three new stations.   
      
   What stations now, if any, board 400 people at a time on a single train?   
      
   I've been at some very crowded stations during the rush hour, but I   
   don't think I've seen more than 200-300 board at time.   
      
   If I got any of this wrong, please correct me.
