The water taxi service, which operates between Belapur and Mumbai, was suspended after a technical glitch was detected in one of the boats. The incident occurred during peak hours, resulting in a significant inconvenience to commuters.
The latest addition by a private operator will carry 200 passengers – 140 on the lower deck and another 60 on the upper or business class deck. In a fortnight, the same catamaran will also be used to ferry office-goers between Gateway of India and Belapur.
Maximum city’s maiden water taxi service seeks to provide a comfortable, efficient and eco-friendly transport to commuters in the twin cities of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
