Their chief priority is profit, isolation and creating a sense of elitism. Public transit is incompatible with all that. So we need buses that are set up like casinos with live bands

Wrong. Dubai's transportation system has a gold card that lets you access an exclusive cabinet on the underground and on trams

"Take that, you lowlifes! I don't stay in same cabin as you filthy people, because I am have a gold card that lets me travel to work with way more comfort than you!"

Look, I know I'll never be allowed in the gold card room, but if that's what it takes to get robust public transit in the U.S., I'm good with it.

There are some countries that offer a more luxurious experience on the rails by offering higher class cabins, similar to an airline.
