Water transport to begin operation in early June
Water vehicles will start serving commuters in early June with ships and boats bought from Thailand and Australia, according to Daw Tint Tint Lwin, CEO of Tint Tint Myanmar. The Yangon regional government had promised to implement a water taxi system on the Hlaing River and Nga Moe Yeik Creek. Tint Tint Myanmar won the tender to operate this system. “We applied the tender because this has been my dream since my childhood: to make a river ferry similar to that in European countries. Now I have got the chance and I will do my best,” Daw Tint Tint Lwin said. In its execution of the scheme, the firm will not use public cash or consider a joint venture. It aims to run everything with its own budget.
