At that point just make separate no fee, low fee, and high fee train cars with varying levels of poor people and/or cleanliness.

The class system… such a classic!

▲NewJazz 2 hours ago | parent | next [-]

You kid, and it would be kinda horrible in certain ways, but I genuinely think it would increase ridership significantly.

Let's face it, classism right now manifests as:

* poor folk use terrible public transit

* med income folk drive cars

* high income/wealth folk get driven around by robots or staff

At least with the classist train you cut down on emissions and public funds spent fixing roads. And I'd argue it's a bit less unequal than the status quo in 95% of the US.

Do you not take flights to travel between cities because they are classist?

Ah yes, a caste system on tracks. That will surely work

Surely you're aware airplanes and cruise ships have different ticket classes and no one considers it a caste system.

Your comment might be deeply offensive to people who have suffered in actual caste systems.
