[1st class on Oyster?]
In Hong Kong they do offer First Class supplements on the East Rail line
to Lo Wu / Lok Ma Chau which you pay for by touching your Octopus card
on a platform validator in the designated first class zone on the
platform. Card holders are inspected on train to ensure the supplement
has been paid.

In NL you have to specify 1st or 2nd for the OVkaart, after which
it'll always "check in" for that class on the NS (and Arriva?). Kinda
dumb cos it means colleagues who can bill 1st class (due to the
crowding on 2nd) carry 2 OVks: one set for 1st, one set for 2nd. Each
has to have the minimum EUR20 to permit entry for the train net (EUR4
for GVB/RET).

HK sounds sensible.
