In metro systems, 50 percent of service affecting failures come from passenger exchange. Majority of the remaining failure come from vehicle failures. Failures due to driving mistakes are very few.
Passenger flow management is the hard part of automated mass transit for performance. It has to be safe yet efficient. It's indeed surprisingly difficult.

But there are a few fully automated lines. The Taipei brown line is fully automated, granted its not the highest volume line, but still very busy.
