Right with you there! I take the big non-air conditioned red government buses and miss the furiously driven green private ones! But hey, neither of us has to worry about our class status.
Also, I'm a transit geek, so I occasionally end up taking the Skytrain or subway even when it's more expensive and out of my way. I've even taken the train to Don Muang! (Not really worth doing, truthfully.)
One thing I will say is that getting into the subway is a great way to cool off! Bangkok needs more underground malls connected to the subway that let you hide from the heat.
But yeah, Bangkok and Thailand is really classist in many ways apart from transit as well.
