The conductor walked the cabin and collected money on the water bus

Conductor collecting money on a water bus

At any rate, I arrived at the water bus stop and was able to board the water bus. This water bus runs along the Saen Saep Canal in Bangkok. There used to be several routes, but this is the only one that is still in service. Although I have never really thought about it, Bangkok has always been an aquatic city, with many canals running through the city. The water buses are probably a remnant of the time when it was more convenient to transport goods by waterways until cars became more popular.

The water buses are comfortable. There are no private boats on the canals, no cargo boats carrying cargo anywhere, and they are free of Bangkok's infamous traffic jams. And it's easy to get on. All you have to do is go to the water bus terminal along the canal and wait for the bus to arrive. BTS accepts electronic money, but unfortunately, it is not available on the water buses. However, it may become available in the near future.

As soon as you get on the water bus, a conductor will approach you. Pay the fare to this person and the procedure is complete. I don't think you will have to wonder who the conductor is. While all the passengers are dressed normally, the conductor is the one wearing a life jacket. The one standing between the seats in the photo is the conductor. The stout conductor with the life jacket was in the middle of collecting the fare from the water bus.
