How those people who also played the "games" were all on a train at the same time?

I mean, two "main" characters got into the train with the people who were also playing the games as them. I mean, they were sitting like normal people. How that happened?

Our heroes were lured into the train by an employee of Minos.

At least one of the other players had some strange car problem that forced him to be on the train.

So from those two details, you can presume that this was a staged sequence to bring them all together to play.

Or you can subscribe to an alt theory that all of those "players" are Minos employees.

That's the way I saw it too but that really made no sense though. The timing of the junkie leading them to where the others were on the train car would have to be impeccable and would hinge on both Zoey and Ben giving chase that entire distance. If either drops out or really even trips the jig is up. Also since the others were all already on the train, had Zoey and Ben woken up 10 minutes earlier or later it also wouldn't have worked.

Also the subway station was busy enough that they were bumping people as the chase went through the crowd...how was it that none of the non-player patrons got on that train car as well? Having ridden the subway for years, non-crowded cars are very appealing.

I mean...yeah lmao.

But the movie leads us to believe that that's what happened (especially since they went through effort of showing that the junkie was an employee). So even though it's absurd, that's unfortunately what they're giving us.

It's convincing enough for me, but if this had been another movie, I may have scrutinized that a bit more.

Same...the movie was fun enough so I just went with it but the method of getting them all on that subway car...oof!

Why would they need to take the same exact train, at that specific location and get in the same exact car? Also, nobody else enters that car? Horrible writing.
