Thousands of commuters yesterday crossed the Demerara River in boats, grappling with various challenges and anxieties as they await the conclusion of critical repairs to the bridge which was knocked out of service early Saturday morning.
Commuters from mainly West Demerara have no choice but to utilise the water taxis operating between Georgetown (Stabroek Market) and Vreed-en-Hoop, West Demerara.
For some, utilizing the service was a first-time experience and a hassle but for others they braved the sometimes choppy waters in the speed boats.
