Ahmedabad, 4 November 2014
India’s first commercial amphibious vehicle will be launched at Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad by end of this year.
A 16-seater vehicle will be driven straight from land to water. It has been purchased from Shangyu Bonai Motor Boat Manufacturing Co Ltd in Zhejiang province of China at a cost of over Rs. 50 lakh. Parking facility and ramp on lower promenade of river front will be required to operate this vehicle.
The vehicle will have speed of 20 to 25 knots per hour. It may cost Rs. 250 for 15 to 20 minutes long ride. City based firm Amrapali will operate it.

Duck tours, or DUKW tours, are tours that take place on purpose-built amphibious tour buses or military surplus DUKWs and LARC-Vs.


Duck tours are primarily offered as tourist attractions in harbor, river and lake cities, such as Austin, Baltimore, Belfast, Boston and Barnstable, Massachusetts, Branson, Chattanooga, Cincinnati-Newport, Dublin, Halifax, Hot Springs, Arkansas, London, Malacca, Malaysia, Memphis, Miami, Mossman, Osaka, Ottawa, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Maine, Qingdao, Rotorua, San Francisco, Seattle, Singapore, South Lake Tahoe, Stone Mountain, Georgia, Toronto, Washington, DC, and Wisconsin Dells. Since 2010 and 2011 respectively two modern touring car buses (coaches) operate amphibious bus and boat services in Budapest, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and since 2013 in Lisbon, Portugal. In Brazil, the first Duck Tour was launched in Rio de Janeiro on 01/02/2014 by Duck Tour Brasil.

Oh by the way this vehicle was not invented in India (I think, or I should check with RSS or Mr. Batra), unlike the aeroplane.

Irrelevant wisecracks show the desperation and stomache burn. Advised to seek help to escape ulcer and exit burn, as more such items will be in the news.
