This actually cut cost for the company. Bus captain salary sure higher than the bus auntie salary?

 

[Dinoboyboy]

Likely the job will be a high tech role going to our satki ft.

 

[AuraKUPO]

Once I was punched on the bus. The useless captain cannot do anything. With this, there will be someone keeping a watch at all times for crimes on the bus. Also can stop yp from smoking and boomers from blasting music loudly

This actually cut cost for the company. Bud captain salary sure higher than the bus auntie salary?

D bus driver salary can hire 2-3 school bus aunties Liao.

So will they get a pay cut?

Maybe $1k+ for the auntie?

 

[dambio]

Maybe $1k+ for the auntie?

I think they will quit

 

[wudimax]

New jobs, .. not more jobs.. hmmm

 

[shodan99]

I'd like to see how this pans out. like the "driverless" trains. In actual fact, there is still someone needed to monitor the train in the leading cabin. So I guess more "monitoring" jobs will be created. same same but different. cos dont think you can have 1 person monitoring more than 1 bus.

 

[articland05]

this is the typical "corporate talk"

now driverless only trial...they dun want too many additional noises on drivers losing job so just make up something.

when the real rollout happens govt can still play the good guy and say drivers can retrain and redeploy within coy then wash hands off liao

 

[fulaien]

In the future phv drivers can be autonomous car cleaner. Help to keep it clean and wash it everyday after a long day. Salary maybe $50 a day
