The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) is advising commuters that the water taxi services operating between Grove, East Bank Demerara and Wales, West Bank Demerara and both eastern and western sides of the Demerara Harbour Bridge will be staggered between 20:00hrs. and 05:00hrs.
The vessels plying these routes will therefore depart each location every hour on the hour, from 21:00hours (9 pm) until 04:00hours.
Thereafter, on-demand service will resume from 05:00hours. However, the services remain continuous, and passengers can safely utilise any of the three water taxi locations based on their preference of disembarkation point.
Commuters are reminded to securely wear a life jacket when crossing the river and to immediately report any incident or infraction to the Maritime Safety Department through the monitors at each location.
