Mumbai’s much-anticipated Water Taxi Services are expected to begin in January 2022.
Highlights:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to launch the water taxi service in the first week of January 2022. There are three operators available right now.
After their catamaran is certified fit, the fourth operator will join. Following Nitin Gadkari’s appointment as Shipping Minister, work on the Water Taxi Services project was accelerated.
The Mumbai (MbPT), Maharashtra Maritime Board, and City & Industrial Development Corporation have collaborated on the Water Taxi Service project (CIDCO).
This service will most likely connect the Domestic Cruise Terminal at Ferry Wharf with the terminals in Belapur and Nerul.
Several operators have been given the following routes:
International Cruise Terminal to Elephanta Domestic Cruise Terminal (DCT) to Karanjade, Rewas, and Dharamtar.
