Depends which customers - waiting for one person to board
inconveniences all the ones already on the train trying to get
somewhere. Drivers regularly waiting for every last customer is one of
the remaining bad things about bus travel.

trains?

No, since the platform is likely to fill up again anyway. On a high
frequency service, getting a few more trains through is going to be
better for capacity than making sure each one picks up every last
passenger.
