Once the technology exists and is proven, the only thing stopping public transportation from being automated with the same technology is their union.

I doubt that the reason public transport is not as prevalent e.g. in the US as in some European countries is the cost of the driver. The fixed costs of operating a train or a bus must be many many times more.

Subways and light rail already have such automation in many places. For example in Montreal: https://rem.info/en/light-rail
