The Ministry of Public Works’ Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD), in collaboration with Mobile Money Guyana (MMG+) launched Guyana’s first online ticket booking system for water transport on Saturday.

The platform, which costs some $6.8 million was developed by local technology company, V75 Inc, and aims to mitigate difficulties encountered by ferry passengers in securing places on the vessels, a release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
