Default Does a Metro anywhere have a first class section?

Does any city's mass transit have a first class section? India's Supreme Court weighs the issue of a sitting only class in the Delhi Metro, with fares ~5 times as high:

I've not been there but Dubai has a "gold class" on its metro.

Not sure where it connects to London though


I didn't know where else to ask the question. Be that as it may, I've
seen speculation over whether it would be a good idea for underground
trains to be longer than platforms. If they were thus lengthened, then
since the carriages at the ends could have at most one door, foot
traffic could be limited to the capacity of just one door by making
them sitting only carriages, and thereby upper class.


Delhi has women-only coaches, which is a form of class system.


Women only sections are common in People's class on buses and trains in
India, but not in 2nd or 1st class. They're not a separate fare class.
