Water taxi, Bangkok

There are various ways of getting around in Bangkok, and one of them is by so called water 'taxi'. Actually, taxi is the wrong word, they hold up to 100 people and follow set routes along their particular canal, with set stopping places, so they are water buses really.
They go at a heck of a speed as you can tell by the bow spray from the blip and getting on and off is not for the faint hearted, as the thing bucks up and down in the swell as does the 'dock' and you have a big 'step' over the side to negotiate.
The blue sheet you can just see in the bottom right hand corner of the blip can be raised whilst travelling to avoid said spray and lowered when you come to get on or off.
The 'conductors' cling to the outside of the boat as it goes along and move along, still on the outside, collecting fares. Sooner them than me!
