For an urban transport system bus driver (vs say someone driving a private minibus)? Not sure where that is, but it's closer to 1000eur/week here. 39 hour week, 4 weeks holidays, so >25eur/hour, plus benefits, employer tax, and so on and so forth.
I doubt self-driving city buses will be a thing anytime for a while, but it's not because the drivers are cheap, it's because the job's actually quite difficult.
A transit bus lasts an average of 12 years, and even if you don't run it nights or weekends, that's still around 50,000 hours of driving.
That's $500k at $10/h, and if you run a bus 24/7 in NYC you could spend $3M over the course of the bus's life.
Got it. After one day, they've made $3423.33 A week gets them over two million dollars, putting a solid, but not insurmountable, dent in the transportation budget. A month over five-hundred million, easily bankrupting most midsized towns. After a year they've made almost half the entirety of the US GDP.
Maybe I should become a bus driver.
