Water taxi

A water taxi or water bus is a boat used to provide public transport, usually in an urban environment. Service may be scheduled with multiple stops, operating in a similar manner to a bus, or on demand to many locations, operating in a similar manner to a taxi. In North American usage, the two terms are roughly synonymous, whilst elsewhere the term water taxi is usually confined to a boat operating on demand, and water bus to a boat operating on a schedule. A boat service shuttling between two points would normally be described as a ferry rather than a water bus or taxi.
