Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Water Taxi shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Water Taxi offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Water Taxi at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Water Taxi? Wrong! If the Water Taxi is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Water Taxi then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Water Taxi? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Water Taxi and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Water Taxi wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Water Taxi then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Water Taxi site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Water Taxi, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Water Taxi, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

A water taxi or water bus is a boat used to provide public transport, usually in an urban environment. Service may be scheduled with multiple stops, operating in a similar manner to a bus, or on demand to many locations, operating in a similar manner to a taxicab. In North American usage, the two terms are roughly synonymous, whilst elsewhere the term water taxi is usually confined to a boat operating on demand, and water bus to a boat operating on a schedule. A boat service shuttling between two points would normally be described as a ferry rather than a water bus or taxi.

Locations Cities and other places operating water buses and/or taxis include:

• Auckland, New Zealand
• Baltimore
• Boston
• Bristol (see also Bristol Ferry Boat)
• Cardiff Bay, Cardiff
• Dubai (see also Abra (boat))
• Fort Lauderdale
• London (see also Thames Clipper)
• New York City (see also New York Water Taxi)
• Pittsburgh
• Rotterdam/Dordrecht
• Seattle (see also West Seattle Water Taxi)
• Sydney
• Tigre, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires
• Toronto (see also Toronto Water Taxi)
• Tokyo
• Vancouver (see also False Creek Ferries)
• Venice
• Winnipeg
• Xochimilco, Mexico City (see also Chalupa)

On demand water taxis are also commonly found in marinas, harbours and cottage areas, providing access to boats and waterfront properties that are not directly accessible by land.

Incidents On March 6, 2004, a water taxi on the Seaport Taxi service operated by the Living Classrooms Foundation capsized during a storm on the Patapsco River, near Baltimore's Inner Harbor. A total of 5 passengers died in the accident, which the National Transportation Safety Board determined was caused by insufficient stability when the small pontoon-style vessel encountered strong winds and waves. The company no longer operates water taxi vessels in Baltimore harbor.
