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!).


Good to see them making use of the river, but if you had a bike, why
would you want to pay 6 quid for a one-way service that's slower than
cycling it?
