short trains vs. long trains

"The Hyundai Rotem cars are 3 m (9 ft 10

+1⁄8 in) in width and 20 m (65 ft 7+3⁄8 in) in length, both wider and longer than the Bombardier Mark I, Mark II and Mark III cars. Each two-car train has seating for 88 and a normal capacity of 334 passengers at four passengers per square metre (0.37/sq ft), with crush load capacity of 400.

Therefore a two-car Hyundai Rotem train has more capacity than a four-car Mark I train." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTrain_(Vancouver)_rolling_stock#Canada_Line_fleet

"Through inserting a middle "C" car at the articulated joint between two end cars, available capacity will be similar to a four-car Mark II or a six-car Mark I train. The Canada Line's station platforms are expandable to 50 m (164 ft 1 in) in length to accommodate these future three-car trains; the five busiest stations are already 50 m (164 ft 1 in) in length. The Canada Line has a designed future capacity of 15,000 pphpd when operating three-car trains at two-minute headways." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTrain_(Vancouver)_rolling_stock#Hyundai_Rotem_EMU

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTrain_(Vancouver)_rolling_stock#Alstom_Mark_V 

"The five-car Mark V train will be able to hold 672 passengers regularly, both seated and standing, while the four-car Mark III train can currently hold 533 passengers. This is an increase of 139 people per train compared to the current largest train, which is the four-car Mark III train.

In terms of crush capacity, the Mark V train can potentially hold up to 1,207 passengers, whereas the Mark III train can handle up to 940 passengers." https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/mark-v-skytrain-first-cars-arrival-translink-vancouver-december-2023
