Waymo is an US company and public transport is not really a thing in the US, so they'd probably struggle to find funding for that. In Switzerland autonomous buses are being tested already since 2016 on different locations as pilot projects: https://www.astra.admin.ch/astra/en/home/topics/intelligente...
