Business class public transit is super underrated imo. I remember taking business class subway in Shenzhen (it cost ~$3 instead of ~$1) and it was a great experience.

If public transit bodies themselves offer it, it could be a large revenue opportunity.

Tiered modeling is dumb. Just make it comfortable for everyone with appropriate capacity. We fucks fund it also subsuquently fund roads for rich urbanites. The public should be the prime benefactors. Tiered publicly funded stuff is a slap in the face to the middle class.

So you think Amtrak or the Shinkansen should have no business class either?

The reality is exactly the opposite: it's is a way for people with more resources to subsidize public goods for everyone else.
