In a welcoming news for Mumbaikars, the fare of water taxi between Mumbai-Mandwa has been cut off by INR 50.
This development came in order to woo more passengers and bring good competition in the business. Moreover, to compete with existing operators, Infinity Harbour Services has slashed its fares for its newly-launched catamaran service between Mumbai-Mandwa.
The Mumbai-Mandwa water taxi fare has been cut by ₹150 and ₹100. Accordingly, the fare for lower deck has been reduced to ₹250 from ₹400 and that of the upper deck was reduced to ₹350 from ₹450.
The new fares have already come into effect from Wednesday, Wednesday 16.
Infinity's catamaran is the city's first high-speed double-deck steady air-conditioner which is capable of cruising across the ocean despite its sheer size. Although its speed can go up to 22 knots, favorably it sails at 15 knots between south Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
With a total capacity of 200 passengers, the water taxi can accommodate 140 passengers on the lower deck and another 60 passengers on the upper or business class deck.
As compared to the Roll On-Roll Off services, which are in operation for more than two years, the latest service is faster and saves about half-an-hour to sail between Mumbai and Mandwa. Hence, it covers the distance in 45 minutes instead of 75 minutes.
