1. Lease out retail space in subway stations - maybe something like a Star Bucks or McDonalds - grab breakfast before boarding that train to work.
2. First class cars - may cost double or triple (or more) to ride in, but would have nice leather seats, wood paneling, brass, stained glass, wifi access, tables for laptops, power outlets, maybe even reserved seating. The super rich could have their own custom designed private cars.
3. First class stations - for the busy exec who has everything. Maybe half a dozen in key locations - only accessible by private trains.
4. Locker rentals at stations, some big enough for bikes or scooters. Would have power outlets for recharging various devices.
5. Party trains, with bars, jacuzi's, small dance floor, karaoke.... A unique way to celebrate that special day.
6. Corporate sponsorship of stations - not only name rights, but the ability to totally makeover stations - ads galore, retail space, video walls - lots of possibilities here.
7. Ad wrappers for buses and trains, subway tunnels.
8. First class buses - similar to item 2.
