    Damn traffic on the Thames this morning was horrid!

    I was only 15 days old when this came out but when I got on the newer version of this!I enjoyed the water splashing into my face

    Great excuse to say when you're late for work. 'sorry i'm late, boat was late'

      Maybe you should also say "Sorry I'm late, there was an oil spill on the Thames".

      I'm sorry I'm late, my boat was diverted to Dunkirk and then we had to sink the Bismarck.

      I recall the story of a journalist who walked into a party and said "I'm sorry I'm late but the submarine was delayed and it's a pain to park one around here."

    Considering the amount Londoners have to pay for travel, the travelcard should include River Bus services.

      @YoshiPeach Mario Wouldn't it relieve pressure on the transport network?

      Refract ミラー 404 , I don’t think it would help much. There are not enough services, the volume of customers being transported are not many. I’m thinking of trying it from Greenwich to Westminster. Just to try something different and pretend to be a tourist.

    On some of the boats there is also a train-buffet-car-type thing! A lot more expensive but a lot more luxurious than other modes of transport.

  • @howardjones543

    When I used to live in Woolwich and work in Aldgate, the clipper to work via the Tower was my treat. Transport with onboard bar is very civilised!

      It is catchy, isn't it, very late '60s sounding, like a cheery corporate film soundtrack of the age.
      Geoff explains in another video that he uses a friend to compose custom music for him. He is a talented videograper, isn't he? Good work all around.

    The boat services reminded me of Stockholm's. The city routes are operated by the local transport network (SL) and the inter-island ones (even crossing to Åland in Finland) is run by Waxholmsbolaget. Tunnelbana (subway) tickets are valid for the ferries as well, since they are unified tickets, except for some inter-island routes. Also a really beautiful way to see the city, as it stops at Gamla Stan/Djugården, Kungsträdgården, and at Gröna Lund.
    Berlin's also work the same (crossing through the Spree), except that I haven't tried them so far…

    Shades of the1950's and earlier when companies like the GSN Co. ruled the Thames with Royal Daffodil or the Royal Eagle or when the crack paddler Ex LNER Jeanie Deans was brought down from the Clyde in 1966 to operate as Queen of The South. She was good for 20 knots in her pre war youth and the skipper would race the seagulls and anything with a yellow funnel ( LMS ). These were real ships that would eat firemen but ultimately failed. They were too big and the 50's were a swan song. Now you've only got the Waverley.

    Heh. Recommended to me in 2019. Better late than never, eh TH-cam?
    Anytime you visit a major city that has a waterfront or a river running through it, you should check to see if there's a commuter ferry or water taxi service. It can be a great alternative to other forms of transportation, is usually uncrowded, and always gives you unique views of the city. In Chicago, I like taking the water taxis from the train station to the museum campus.
