How many inactive trains are there at 10 minute headways? Could the extras all be strategically put into service as double length trains to alleviate at least some of the overcrowding without having to kill off-peak headways, or would that also require contract renegotiation?
It's still not the right answer though, which is to just increase the budget to provide adequate service.
I don't think it has to do with being suburbanites or staying home after 6PM, it's just people who don't understand or use transit. They think one train serving 100 people is the same as two trains serving 50 people each. Don't ask them to schedule a carpool trip to Costco with their neighbours though...
Whose goal is that?
