Public Transport on the Thames River

Today we went on a trip to Greenwich via the Thames. I was amazed at how luxurious the public transport boat was and how efficient this system of travel is here in London.
Previous experiences I have had with boats or ferries have not been nearly as nice. The boat we were on is a catamaran called the Cyclone Clipper and it is part of the Thames Clippers' Fleet. It reminded me of sitting on an a jet airplane. The seats were similar, there were flat screen televisions, and refreshments were available to purchase. The experience was also similar to taking the tube because we made frequent stops and pickups for passengers.

This is such a nice alternative form of public transportation.
