The route, which begins and ends close to Mustam\u00e4e tee and the Tammsaare taksopeatus, creates a loop around Ehitajate tee.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I am delighted that the self-driving bus project is to reach the streets of Mustam\u00e4e. Hopefully, the pilot project will be a success and will bring us a self-driving bus for a longer period of time in the near future,&#8221; explained Mustam\u00e4e District <strong>Elder Lauri Laats<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Since Mustam\u00e4e is a compact district, the shuttle is able to cover the habitual routes of quite a large number of people on a short route,&#8221; Laats added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">The bus, which will run at 25-minute intervals between 10 am and 4 pm (Tuesday to Sunday), is able to carry 8 passengers. A human operator will also be on-board at all times to supervise the performance of the bus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">The bus will remain in operation on the route until September 14. Travel on the bus is free of charge for Tallinn Residents, as with all public transport in the city.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s2\">Source <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.err.ee\/1608658279\/mustamae-district-of-tallinn-gets-self-driving-bus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">ERR<\/span> <\/span><\/a><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route.jpeg 961w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-650x460.jpeg 650w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-768x543.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-85x60.jpeg 85w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-18x13.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-120x85.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-150x106.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-210x149.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-212x150.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Self-driving-bus-route-450x318.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Tallinn City Government<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; On Friday, a self-driving bus began operating in the Mustam\u00e4e&nbsp; district of Tallinn.
