Self driving buses though can be very useful!

No labor cost to drive the bus means it suddenly becomes a lot cheaper to operate buses with less capacity. Meaning, more frequent buses in low density neighborhoods.

Lets go a step farther and put that bus on tracks, which will make it even easier and safer to implement self driving.

maybe we can connect multiple busses together and that way it can carry more on the same track!

Tram systems could be made that simple as adding capacity is just add another tram car to the link onto certain routes. We do also need trains but trams serve a more localized purpose, which often make up the majority of someone's trips
