My cities public transit system is currently limited by the number of drivers they can find. The pay is quite good, they just can't sign people up. This has lead to extreme inconsistencies where if a driver calls in sick a bus or train just won't show up for 30 minutes instead of the usual 10. Driverless busses allow for the system to greatly expand the number of routes and increase consistency.

- HDThoreaun 3y agoit's well into 6 figures in a MCOL area. If they paid any more they'd have to raise fares which would cause less people to use it.

- HDThoreaun 3y agoThat would be nice, but the current funding level is already under political attack. There is absolutely no chance of increased funding when people are already incredibly pissed about the tax burden.
