It's not a question of whether or not passyunk can support a subway line. (It could.) It's that the narrow width of the street would make building a line there more of challenge and thus, more costly.

It's hard to imagine a new subway line in Philadelphia being built in even the next half century, regardless of where you build it. Trying to squeeze the subway onto a narrow street like passyunk just adds to the cost and reduces the probability even lower.
