Additionally all those emergency vehicles are going to have an easier time shuttling patients to hospitals and firefighters to fires. The whole spectrum benefits from that, not just the rich.

Buses work better when there's less traffic.

Buses should serve both rich and poor. Otherwise this is a very definition of classism. The bus is the "back of the bus" now.
