This pattern doesn't hold true, though, for every subway line. Stations on the 6 line, for example, tend to have entrances at the centers of platforms, so those trains are denser in their middles.
The L train is notoriously overcrowded, which the MTA already knows, and more trains should be run on the line by mid 2012.

The rear car of the L is the least crowded, no question. Regarding the most crowded, I could see the first one, but also the car in the middle that opens at that spot directly in front of the staircases to the NRQ platform at the Union Square Station. And it is actually harder to get in the middle one than the first one at Bedford because a lot of people in the first car disembark at Bedford.
