Came across this document, which is used by transportation engineers when preparing transit studies (that's where I saw the reference, in an engineering report).
THIS IS A MUST READ - INCUDES LOTS OF INTERESTING DATA - incl. TO, SF and Vancouver
TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 100: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 2nd Edition contains background, statistics, and graphics on the various types of public transportation, and provides a framework for measuring transit availability and quality of service from the passenger point of view. The report contains quantitative techniques for calculating the capacity of bus, rail, and ferry transit services, and transit stops, stations, and terminals.
This should provide some insight into the carrying capacities of the various modes of bus rapid transit, light rail, heavy rail, etc.
Have a good read! Right click on each chapter and "Save Target as..."
