In 2023-03, they did passenger 1,000,000 [1].

In 2024-05, they did passenger 2,000,000 [2].

So 1,000,000 passengers in 14 months or ~420 days. That is a average throughput of ~2,400 passengers per day.

In comparison, the Tokyo Marunouchi line averages ~1,100,000 passengers per day [3]. That is ~420x the rate. Every single day, they do what the Las Vegas Loop does in a year.

The peak capacity that they claim without evidence is ~32,000 in a day [4]. The Maruonouchi line does in a day what the Las Vegas Loop at maximum capacity could theoretically do in a entire month.
