Public transit is incompatible with all that.

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!"
