I don't think it is a quibble. If the train runs approximately once every half hour than it runs twice twice an hour. Moving a 7 am train to 6:59 means there is only one train in the rush hour between 6:59 and 8.

That prediction is based upon four cars with 150 seats each in a train and a train at 6:00 a.m., one at 6:30, and one at 7:00. The problem with that is that the 7:00 train, as most young children know, doesn't run in the same hour as the 6:00 train."
Isn't this something of a quibble? If the 7:00 train ran at 6:59 instead then it would be in the same hour. So let's say the train has the capacity to carry as many people in 1.017 hours as the highway does in 1 hour. Not a big difference.
