Summary:The invention relates to a method of driving mine vehicles in a mine, and to a transport system. A plurality of mine vehicles (1a to 1d) is arranged in succession and driven in convoy (13) between working areas (18a, 18b). A master vehicle (1a) in the convoy is driven manually, and slave vehicles (1b to 1d) follow the master, provided with no mechanical connection. In the working areas, the convoy is disassembled, since single vehicles are each driven separately. When assigned tasks in the working areas have been completed, the vehicles are reassembled into a convoy so as to be driven to a next working area.
