This is somewhat related to this topic

thread.
With all of talk about self driving cars there has been only very little mention about self driving mass transit (buses, street cars and subways).
I know mass transit systems do a good job of reducing the number of vehicles on the roadways and many systems are automated, however is still at least one operator for dozens of passengers.
There is also the case of many children which take school buses to and from school on a fairly regular bases.
I wonder how soon before the general public trusts automated school buses with kids.
I remember running to the bus every once in a while in the morning. Some times the bus driver would wait a minute or so if they saw me at the door running for the stop.
With an automated transit system I would have missed the school bus and miss a day of school.
