river taxi

Floating urban transport

A river taxi is a small passenger boat that operates like a taxi on a river, transporting people between designated stops along the waterway.

Unlike ferries running fixed routes, river taxis often allow flexible pickup and drop-off points: We took a river taxi from the hotel to the restaurant district.

Common in cities where rivers serve as transportation corridors.
