Water taxi & ferry stations to open along Dubai Canal
In a matter of days, you’ll be able to get a boat along Dubai Canal. On Saturday, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that they will be opening nine marine stations along the stretch of water, offering water taxis.
This will include four stations at Business Bay – Dubai Design District, Al Wajeha Al Maeyah, Marasi, and the Business Bay – and five along the canal – Sheikh Zayed Road, Safa Park, Al Wasl, Jumeirah, Dubai Canal stations.
“The services will start at 10 am, 12 midday and 05:30 pm. The current line of the Dubai Ferry shuttling between Al Ghubaiba Station and Marina Mall Station will be modified to call the Dubai Canal Station. Thus, the Dubai Canal Station will link between Al Ghubaiba, Marina Mall, Business Bay and Al Jaddaf. Due attention has been given to the integration of other transit modes (buses, trains and taxis) in order to provide a smooth and safe service for commuters,” he added.
Dubai Ferry
The Dubai Ferry is a Catamaran Low Wash structure (basically that means that it has a dual base). It’s fully air-conditioned and seats about 100 passengers (84 seats in the Silver Class, 14 seats in the Gold Class and 2 seats for the disabled). It’s 32 meters long, 7.6 meters wide and can travel at speeds of up to 24 knots.
Water Taxi
The design is inspired by the shape of an abra. Much like the Dubai Ferry it has a dual base and an air-conditioned interior. Apparently the seats are so comfortable that they are similar to an aircraft’s Business Class seats, which recline up to 45 degrees and have LCD monitors. The water taxis can accommodate up to 11 people.
He’s a breakdown of the fare:
Dubai Ferry, Tourist Class
One station – AED15
Two stations – AED25
Tree stations – AED35
Four stations – AED45
Entire line – AED 50
