The NYC Subway had a yearly ridership of over 2 billion in 1946, higher than it is today (pre-covid). One could say that we should be building a subway that can transport 5 billion riders per year and have six tracks on every line but that would be silly and there's no legitimate reason why that would be the case.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. NYC is growing steadily, especially around that station.
