capillarity

Spanish translation: [de una] mayor capacidad de absorber flujo (vehicular) de Madrid

English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Human Resources / transport
English term or phrase: capillarity
¿Cuál es el sentido de esta palabra en este contexto?:

"Urban transport revenues have grown at 6.7% for the 2004-06 period, contributing a 7% of la Sociedad's revenues and 6% of total EBITDA. EBITDA contraction in 2006 is the result of exceptional events such as the rise in fuel costs, a renewed collective bargaining agreement that resulted in an extraordinary salary increase for Madrid based employees, and a headcount increase as a result of increased ***capillarity*** in Madrid. These effects are fully factored in current performance and management expects historical levels of profitability to be re-established."

Explanation:
Asi me queda más claro. Es aterrizar esta especie de metáfora de tener más capilares, vale decir, más espacios donde pueda circular la sangre. En este caso, los buses.
Espero te sirva. Suerte.
