With this partnership, Baidu's Apollo Go and PostBus aim to bring a new on-demand smart mobility service AmiGo to eastern Switzerland to complement the existing public transport system.
Initial fleet testing will begin in three cantons in Eastern Switzerland in December 2025 with phased expansion to regular operations by the first quarter of 2027 at the latest. Once officially launched, the fully driverless service will offer seating for up to four passengers and allow ride-pooling, improving vehicle utilization.
This partnership has received strong backing from the cantons of St. Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Thurgau, the Federal Office of Transport, the Federal Roads Office, the Touring Club of Switzerland, among others, enabling the smooth implementation and further development of the service.
