As you pointed out - the bussing infrastructure even in NYC is not good - because busses are too expensive, because drivers are the biggest expense by far.

Comparing to a current system limited in service by the cost of the driver to a future system that won't have this meaningless.

And I've got news for you. Your $2.75 ticket wouldn't be $2.75 without a driver.

Additionally, the vast majority of transit rides are covered by a monthly pass, and the average trip price is less than $2.75.
