The financial capital of India, Mumbai, is soon expected to see a new mode of transportation – water taxi and ferry services. The move is part of the government’s plans to promote eco-friendly water-based transportation and reduce traffic on Mumbai’s overburdened road infrastructure.
The plan for the new waterways came as a result of a meeting that was chaired by the Minister of State (I/C) for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Mansukh Mandaviya, to review the Urban Water Transportation projects for Mumbai, Maharashtra. The plan includes a new route for ROPAX (roll-on/roll-off passenger) ferry services and 11 new water taxi routes that will be operational by December 2021.
