Water taxis could help ease the gridlock on Barbados’ streets, if plans for their operation this year materialise.

Minister of Tourism Kerrie Symmonds on Monday disclosed Cabinet had recently identified “a few areas where we will now build out landings for maritime transportation”.

Speaking aboard the cruise ship Zuiderdam, Symmonds said that form of transportation would enable visitors to explore Barbados “by a different means”. 

It would also give Barbadians an alternative means of getting around the southern and western coasts of the island, as Symmonds indicated locations were being eyed for landings from Oistins in Christ Church, to Speightstown, St Peter. Sites such as Bridgetown and Holetown were identified, with others “in between” them yet to be selected. (GC)
