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.

My city in Florida just started a self driving bus system...its a pilot program of course. I should go downtown just to take a ride.

Self-driving cars would be real neat though to use the existing infrastructure. But that's in addition to great public transit
I want self driving cars to take me home at night when public transit is down or partially down.
This happens in major cities with big public transit network (Paris, Tokyo).
The people that need to move at this hour isn't big.
