I bet MrBeast could pull off a "I paid a guy $100,000 to spend a month in a private train car" or something.

Wouldn't even need to pay me to do it. The only thing stopping me is a lack of a private train car and presumably the significant expense of running it :(
There’s gotta be a Groupon for this. So long as anyone doesn’t have a major criminal record, I’m game.
So its a privately owned and operated rail car, that lots of people can group together with and pay the total cost of by individually paying a smaller part of it, like some sort of ... publicly accessible private transportation ... I think you might be on to something!

Uber for trains.

There, I said it.

Jesus you’re right, I never knew I was a socialist.
Wait! All old first local trains started like this.
Why would a criminal record be relevant at all?

Other than prior convictions for train robbery, I guess.

I, for one, would rather not be murdered on the Orient Express.
Bring some extra soups, what's the harm? Criminals have the best bedtime stories.
To be fair, the Orient Express victim really did piss off a few people. And I don't know if many of them had any criminal records beforehand either.
Seeing as they apparently made up fake terrain and mountains around Vinkovci in the movie I probably be worried about fake weather killing me.
