> a bus driver costs $10/h

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.
