HART station platform lengths being built max out at 240 feet.
NY subway station platform lengths are (1) IRT stations have platforms that are generally 525 feet long; (2) most BMT platforms are around 615 feet long, and (3) some IND platforms are 660 feet.
Note: 240 feet is less than half the length of NY subway's shortest platforms.

Except the ones on the Franklin Shuttle (except of course Prospect Park). They can only accommodate 2 75-foot cars, so I'm guessing 160 feet maybe.
