What kind of subway would that be? Larger than I thought at first and with more than one or two train cars.

Paris's RER A is an extreme example, with 10-car double-deck trains moving 2,600 people, ~30 trains per hour. More than a million daily journeys.

The Victoria line is a more frequency-heavy system, with 8-car single deck trains at 1100 passengers at 36tph, or 40k PPHPD.

Fully underground systems usually have shorter trains due to the constraints and costs of building longer underground platforms.
