Sure, the total number of passengers does, but do any of the original passengers stay on the entire time as new passengers cycle on and off?

    i think that can’t really be answered bc there’s no hard rules on who specifically gets off.

    if it’s first-on, first-off then all the original riders would cycle out in as little as 2 cycles. but if it’s first-on, LAST-off then at least 1 person from the original bunch would always be on the train.

    if it’s random, who knows! someone who took probability and statistics can work that one out lmao
