LOL, in what world do you live in? That's a super good price. How much do you think daily usage of "automated self-driving taxi services" will be? :-)))
Bucharest, a city in a much poorer country, charges about €16 for a 1 month pass for surface transport and €20 for a 1 month pass for the subway. That's about €36.
The average salary in Stockholm seems to be about €46 000. The average salary in Bucharest is less than €24 000.
So €100 per month seems about fair for what I assume is a pretty solid public transport network in a place with far more disposable income than Bucharest.
Edit: Switzerland is famous for having a very well run public transport system. The Zurich monthly pass for all zones is about €250 per month... Yeah, Zurich has higher incomes for sure. Stockholm probably has a decent rate for public transportation. Privatizing it won't help, like it didn't in many places in the world (see England).
There are some outliers that are very cheap for their cost of living but life is complicated, geography, politics, administrative capacity are all different, even between cities in the same country.
And we have 0 proof for the private sector being cheaper. Privatization of transport is almost universally a disaster, even for cars and roads, frequently the costs are just hidden in a million places: budget deficits for road infrastructure, ever increasing public debt due to it, ever increasing car prices, road infrastructure budgets being distributed in a million places, etc.
Uber was sort of cheaper for a while during ZIRP and thanks to massive price dumping/subsidizing due to VC investments while trying to corner the market. Now Uber is basically the same cost as regular taxis...
