    Normalized by passenger, certainly. However, it’s easier to hit passenger capacity in a train than in a (private) car.

      Wait the private car isn’t normalized as 1 person per car or 1.2 average people per car?

      Deeply suspicious framing if that’s the case.

        You misunderstood me. For one, I simply assumed that locomotives have big engines for a reason and thus the number can’t be calculated for the entire train. For two, when I mentioned the capacity of cars, I meant maximum passenger capacity. I said that because at maximum passenger capacity, cars become a reasonable means of transportation whereas normally, they are ridiculously inefficient.
