The US is more sparsely populated than London. Especially when most of the workplace is in central London and everyone in the suburbs are trying to board the same train that heads in the same direction.

[@hebneh]

I doubt very much that New York City is "more sparsely populated than London". Its subway stations happen to be larger, particularly in height, and it has subway cars with higher ceilings.

[@Shhhhhhhh1234]

@@hebneh it's because the deep level lines use smaller trains to fit the tunnels.

Many stations were made years ago, when the population was around one third of this. Recently built stations, such as Nine Elms, Battersea Power Station and Elizabeth Line stations have much more capacity as they are newer, although if London’s population increases, they will still be cramped like this.
