The State Tourism department is going to launch an air-conditioned water bus service on Krishna River at the Bhavani Island. The water bus (boat) with a fibreglass cover offers sofa seating arrangement for about 30 persons. Every person in the boat can savour the beauty of the river while sitting at the comfort of the air-conditioning.
The service is suitable for holding corporate meetings and private events, according to officials. “The air-conditioned water bus service is already there in Lucknow and Gomti River and is a success. A similar service will be started on the Krishna so that corporate meetings and other private events, parties could be organised,” Tourism Director Himanshu Shukla told The Hindu .
“We have already placed the order worth over ₹90 lakh and the boat will be imported and delivered at our place here. Unlike the row-wise bus type of seating, this one is going to have two side sofa seating and a table on the aisle,” Mr. Shukla added. In all likelihood the boat which will sail between Bhavani Island and Pavitra Sangamam and other points in the core capital region will be launched on December 15, he said.
