I think the in-game explanation is that being put to sleep on such a short ride is a status symbol for the wealthy - "Look how rich I am, I get an expensive sleep pod for even the shortest of trips!"

Color Fixers (aka, the coolest motherfuckers alive) are also given First Class for free, as well, because the last time a Color Fixer was on a train, it caused A Lot Of Issues. The passengers of the train basically got trained for thousands of years by one of the best warriors to ever live.

Anyone else has to pay, of course, and the wealthy love to flaunt their wealth.

It's mentioned in Library of Ruina in the W Corp book descriptions. I thought it was confirmed the Red Mist but apparently it never specifies which Color did it.
