The passenger numbers cannot build "too far", whatever that would be. Each player has a limit to the number of Waiting Passengers. This limit is set by the buildings that are on the streets at the player's Main Station, 2nd Station, and 3rd Station. This limit can be expanded by flags and special buildings, but it's still a finite limit.

One of the many reasons TrainStation is a highly successful game is that it allows for any play style a player chooses. Players can sit in front of the game for 7 hours a day, or 16, or whatever. Players also can check in once per day, once per week, or once per year. In every case, a player always picks up the game exactly where he/she left it. Taking a long break would mean missing many of the limited-time features and offers, but it wouldn't hurt the basic game.
