Spot on. I really hope that through automation, rural public transportation becomes cheaper and more frequent as a result. I was lucky, since I lived in town, but my childhood friends would come to school by bus. It took them 3h to get here, the motorist had to cover all the tiny villages along the way, and time adds up. If we didn't have those buses (most of them were vans), well then, I don't think most kids would get their lessons. Who had cars though? No problem. But yeah, it's difficult to employ a system on a rural area.
