It’s probably the opposite - Google pulls the data from the WMATA API.

I don't see how WMATA knows how full the train cars are though without seeing a bunch of phones moving together from station to station.

Embedded weight scale would probably do it. Or even a basic AI looking at a video feed. Doesn't need to be on-the-dot perfect after all.

Google definitely gathers at least some of the data itself, because it lets users input how crowded trains and buses are.
