river bus

Urban river transit

A river bus is a passenger boat operating on a scheduled route along a river, functioning like public transit on water.

Cities with navigable rivers—London on the Thames, Bangkok on the Chao Phraya—use river buses to move commuters and tourists between stops along the waterway: I take the river bus to work to avoid traffic.
