I think one of the main points for public transit using self-driving vehicles is that the operating costs are going to be a lot lower. The difference in running costs between a traditional bus with a driver and a self-driving electric bus is going to be tremendous. This really opens up new possibilities in terms of what routes and frequencies it is economical to offer, particularly in the suburbs.

It's going to be really hard to replace drivers where I live with self-driving busses. The drivers also load luggage on the airport busses and need to be there when handicapped individuals ride. Tons of work has been done on accessibility and I think busses might be one of the last things automated if they ever even are.
