Capacity and dwell time.
27 (soon to be 30) trains per hour on the Jubilee line for instance, hundreds of people can get on and off each one.

I don't get it. Suppose this scenario:
- Instead of big formations, replace each wagon with an electric minibus. - Instead of stopping in all stations, each minibus stops in, lets say 3 or 4. - Each passenger checks into the bus dinamically assigned to their stop. - Minibuses can surpass each other.
You have less dwell time, each ride is reduced to one third of the time.
Instead of 10 formations of 6 wagons you have 60 buses.
You have same capacity and one third of traveling time per ride.
