Default Does a Metro anywhere have a first class section?

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.


The LU S class trains have the first or last two sets of doors non-opening
at quite a few stations. They certainly don't limit them to seating-only.
