RoPax ferries to be operational on 4 routes in Mumbai by December
Mumbai s public transportation system is set to get a major boost with water taxis on 12 routes by May and RoPax ferries on four routes to be operational by December 2021, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Wednesday.
The development follows launch of a roll-on roll-off (RoRo) cum passenger ferry service, also called RoPax , between Mumbai and Mandwa near Alibaug last year which saw one lakh passengers in 20 weeks besides transportation of 20,000 vehicles. After successful operation of Mandawa RoPax service that reduced the journey time between Mumbai and Mandawa from three hours to 45 minutes, we are going to operate RoPax service on four more routes by December 2021, Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Mandaviya told PTI.
