Default Putney River Taxi

Walking past Putney Pier at lunchtime today, I saw some publicity for a
new commuter service along the Thames between Putney and Blackfriars:

Quite good timings, given that there are three intermediate stops
(including a five-minute wait at Chelsea) but not cheap (although bikes
are carried free!).

That's a great alternative to the train/tube and round about the same
journey time.

The price will put commuters off even in moneyed Putney.

But when the trains are up the spout or on a nice summers day, it's a
possibility.
