The good thing about trains is they have a high capacity.

On another forum I was reading, they said each capsule held 28 people. It was discussed that the capsules could be loaded and queued up to be sent off every 1-2 minutes. Even at 3 minutes, that's 20 capsules or 560 people per hour... Sounds like a lot of people
Edit - Bigtime beat me to it on the capsule capacity.
