If its over capacity every rush hour then they should consider running more trains and more frequently around those times, or depending on the trips taken, invest in another transit line to ease congestion.
You cannot oversize the infrastructure for that 1% peak use. It's just not feasible. It's the 'mOaR trains/rails/busses...' instead of lanes. There isn't any efficient way of moving that much people around in that little time, imo the solution has to include distributing the use of the resources, like with wfh or even flexible schedules (honestly we should aim for just working less. We humans are doing and making too many things all the time...). What do you do with so many busses and trains just 30 min after the rush hour when almost no one rides it? I've seen those massive parking lots where the American yellow school busses lie the 99% of the time when they're not swarming all the roads, our current lots for busses and trains are quite big already I don't think they can be scaled that way. And then you have drivers and other workers...
Unlike more lanes, more trains is far easier to implement, cheaper, and basically takes up no space. The extra trains can be used to swap out during maintaince and repairs. They can also be deployed during abnormal congestion such as concerts or sports events.
If our cities will let robotaxis on their streets, i see no problem with robo trains which are literally attached to rails to guide them and would be far easier to implement emergency safety features like auxiliary brakes.
I think I know which country they are talking about. I wouldn't call it over capacity, but at capacity which still means metro every 3 minutes and every train is full. The experience of so many hundreds of people moving in and out can definitely be overwhelming. Combined with the noise, the heat in the summer and the smell, even if it's on the better side of the scale world wide is still far from ideal.
If its at full capacity its time to consider expansion unless the city has strict rules in place to limit growth.
