A tram's capacity is abt. 22 thousand passengers per hour [1].

Quite apart from the fact that this looks unbelievably high (22
trams per hour with 1000 pax each, how many pax can you get
in a single tram?)

ISTR trams can run with something like 40 second headways!

Perhaps they can for a short stretch of track, but I don't think
that I've ever seen anything close to this on the whole length of
a single line. Anything more than one tram about every 2 minutes
causes bunching at traffic lights [1] and stops. This bunching clears
when separate routes diverge, but if they all go to the same place
the service become unworkable at this frequency.

[1] and there will still be lots of these!
