The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has started test runs of a self-driving bus that carries passengers and travels as fast as 50 kilometers per hour.
                
The tests that began on Monday are part of the Japanese capital&#039;s efforts to address shortages of bus drivers.
                
The bus operates on a regular loop route that connects Shinjuku Station with the metropolitan government&#039;s two buildings.
                
Only 18 seats are available to ensure passenger safety, and those who want to ride need to book a seat online.
                
Passengers on the first service were seen taking videos of a monitor that showed the steering wheel moving autonomously.
                
The test runs will continue until October 13. Twelve services are scheduled between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays, with fewer services on the weekend and holiday in that period.
                
Tokyo officials plan to see whether the self-driving bus can operate smoothly in areas with relatively heavy traffic, and measure the space needed for special lanes.
                
One passenger said it was a futuristic experience to see the steering wheel move by itself.
                
She said self-driving buses would help ease workforce shortages, so she hopes they will be introduced across Japan.
