Seoul's First Self-Driving Bus to Help You Get to Work Early in the Morning

The Seoul Metropolitan Government's "autonomous bus accompanied by a car" has started operating early in the morning, helping workers, such as street cleaners and security guards, go to work early in the morning.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it operated the early morning self-driving bus "A160" from 3:30 a.m. today (26th), which runs 50 kilometers round-trip from Dobongsan Station to Yeongdeungpo Station.

Self-driving buses that operate one day on weekdays will be operated free of charge for the time being and will be converted to pay in the second half of next year.

In consideration of emergency situations and safety, a safety manager will be in the driver's seat and passengers will be prohibited from standing.
