Which US metro area will GM Cruise first restart (or start) giving public rides in? With a safety driver is fine and expected. Public = non-GM non-Cruise employees.
New answers should be a specific US city/metro area. If an answer is not a specific city, or if an answer is already including in another metro area, or if the city is outside the US, I will resolve N/A
For example, Phoenix AZ includes Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, etc.
