Think about the situation - Mr. Bell played his violin at a busy Metro station at the height of the morning rush hour - a time when most workers couldn't stop and listen if they wanted to.
A more interesting experiment would have been to have Mr. Bell play at the same Metro station at the afternoon rush hour, when people aren't facing the wrath of a supervisor if they come in late and so have a better chance to stop and listen. Furthermore, people aren't necessarily in their pre-caffeinated fugue state.

I think it would be quite challenging for a single violinist to play a fugue.
