Max capacity I could find for the Crosstown varies between 12k and 15k an hour while the Metro can probably achieve 30k-40k. Even Ottawa with its fully grade separated system, longer platforms and ATC has a max capacity of only 24k, roughly the same as SkyTrain.
I'd call Corsstown a streetcar on steroids at best.

I might be wrong but Azur is only currently used on 2 lines of STM.
I was comparing to Blue line uses different rolling stock and has a capacity of about 600-700 people per train.
I can’t argue the frequency and only assuming something similar.
