Because we're talking about streetlife on transit. Dubai has no streetlife (at least for the purposes of this discussion), and isn't a democracy, so it isn't particularly surprising that you don't see the negative externalities of streetlife and democratic norms when riding a train in Dubai, as you would in, say, Paris.
I mean, if your point is you don't like bums on trains and like that Dubai because it has no bums on trains, that's fair. But it has nothing to do with the discussion. It's like saying you like that there are no bums on trains in Yosemite Park, or Mars, for that matter.
