overcrowd

Etymology

over- + crowd

verb

  1. To fill beyond reasonable limits, with people, animals, objects or information.
    The host of business travellers between Bishops Stortford and London would scarcely take kindly to devious routing via the Southbury line; on the other hand, it is not desirable that they should overcrowd the business trains to and from Cambridge. 1961 January, “The North-East London electrification of the Great Eastern Line”, in Trains Illustrated, page 19
