Does this calculation take into the account of the increase of the train frequencies? If it doesn't, then looks like it potentially can carry up to 180,000 per day at frequencies of 90s on the main branch and 3min on the YVR/Richmond spurs. I suppose if there' 18 trains in service simultaneously, the C-Line's train frequency should be around 2-3min (main branch)/4-6min (YVR-Richmond)?

I think the C-Line definitely has the capacity and capability to absorb 200,000 riders per day, when extra trains are acquired in the future and platforms expanded to 50min for all stations.
