Also the ones who smoke that funny looking cigarette on their off time could deter them from being a bus driver since if the driver gets into an accident the person would be subjected to a drug test.
The reality of it is, people are working. They just aren’t working the jobs you want them to work for the pay you expect them to work at so the price of your latte doesn’t go up.
Monitize the system, at least at the DS stop. Transport away from DS is free to all resort guests and APs, everyone else, $40 per person unless your ticket is comped by a restaurant at DS, or you paid for theme park parking (would probably need gates at SSR at the station nearest DS.)
If a bus driver job is menial then it is far from it. There are many immigrants working in that role and the income they make is far more than what they can earn in their home countries.
Immigrants will fill a stop gap, and getting a little geopolitical, the reason we will continue to be the #1 economy in the world so long as we attract and let in young immigrants while other less desirable political systems watch their population grey, but it’s going to happen. Same with truckers, Tesla and others already have a working program. I get there is stress and a bus is much harder to drive than a car, but it’s something that can be automized and will.
In regards to truck driving automation, loading unloading cargo providing customer service, fixing a flat etc, automation won't cut it. Won't be happening much in this lifetime.
Not sure how old you are, but I did say this century, which still 78.5 years left. I plan to be alive for the majority of it.
I never said that. You seem to believe that all the potential bus drivers are sitting at home not working. My guess is that most laid off Disney bus drivers took their cdl and started driving for delivery services that have been doing record business post covid and need all the drivers they can get.
That will be interesting for one talking to a robot to exchange insurance info? if an "automated" tractor trailer gets into a fender bender with a vehicle. The chances or pipe dreams of automated truck driving will happen after WDW builds a 5th gate. The truck driver shortages will be filled with ones who are willing try to work for those wages coming from diverse backgrounds which is nothing wrong about that.
And use blow up dolls?
I disagree. The jobs on the low end of the totem pole are going to remain vacant until the benefits of not working, no longer outweighs working.
