Dozens?
The New York City subway R160's for example used on the J, F, M, Z, L, N, E and Q lines can hold between 230 and 250 depending on which order of cars they were. Metro North M8's, the new cars they are putting on the New Haven line seat either 110 or 101 people (two configurations) and another 30+ can be standing.

That's top capacity, which probably is only at rush hour.
Most of the city's subway cars seat between 40 and 60, but there can be another 100 to 200 people standing in them.
This page has links to all the different pages of the NYC rolling stock (from wikipedia)

Those detail pages will show the capacity of each of the cars. Most are only showing seated, some list standing and seated.
