(I think that it actually makess more sense for the Enterprise to have 11 transporters because, in the episode The Doomsday Machine, the crew of the USS Constelltion was evacuated to a planet by beaming and, if they wanted to evacuate a crew of about 500 in a short amount of time, they would have to have a lot of transporters but, they were never shown on screen. Possibly because of budget constraints or, the Enterprise never had a situation where it had to use more than one transporter. The Constellation and the Enterprise are both Constitution class starships so, it is assumed they both have the same number of transporters. The Enterprise has 11 transporters. 4 Standard six person trasporters, 2 cargo transporters and 5 22 person transporters. This is according to the book The Making of Star Trek. So, according to that, the Enterprise can beam up a maximum of 134 people.)
