Ok, but check this out: self-driving buses! It's easier to make a self-driving vehicle that follows a fixed route. Buy enough buses to cover the peak demand, then send most of them back to garage during non-peak times.

Buses are a half-million dollars or more, without fancy self-driving tech. Doubling your fleet (to double peak capacity) is a big investment.
Garage and maintenance costs also increase with the number of buses.
