Bussijuht võib saada uue õiguse

Bus driver may receive a new right

In rural areas, a bus driver may be granted the right to let passengers off on the roadside.

Praegu saavad reisijad bussist väljuda ainult peatustes. Bussijuht ei tohi lasta reisijat maha suvalises kohas. Regionaalministeerium tahab seda muutuda.

Currently, passengers can exit the bus only at stops. The bus driver is not allowed to drop off passengers in random locations. The Ministry of Regional Affairs wants to change this.
