"If the first two carriages in each train cost three times as much as the others but offered free Wi-Fi, and were furnished not with basic seats but with the sumptuousness of an Edwardian-era New Orleans brothel, you could afford to run more trains."
You don't have enough trains in your subway? That's strange. It's supposed to be rapid transit isn't it?
If we in the UK have limits on the number of Tube[1] trains run in a given period, they're for safety or 'incredibly low number of passengers' (depending on where along the line you are) and really not finance reasons, to the best of my knowledge. The point is pretty moot.
[1]: He has to refer to the Tube, as National Rail already has classes not unlike as described. :P

the tube runs at full capacity in central sections at peak times.
on some lines you even get a train entering the platform while the previous train is still pulling out!
