Maybe I'm just biased, but I assumed they were talking about trains and metros which aren't affected by traffic.

Yes, you are right: I was mostly thinking of trains and metro systems. In any case though, the argument still applies to buses. Adding a new "first class" without increasing the bus fleet would decrease passenger capacity — and if the bus fleet were to be extended, then introducing a first class would be redundant anyway given that the greater passenger capacity would be enough to increase passenger numbers by itself.
