Tired of the overcrowded and erratic services of the ferry at the Likoni Channel? Well you will soon be 'flying' across the channel courtesy of a cable car. The car will offer passengers a beautiful scenery of the splendid shores and the ocean. According to Kenya Ferry Services (KFS), the car, the first of its kind Kenya, will be introduced from March next year. The cable cars will have a capacity to carry 11,000 passengers per hour in both directions.
The trip, which normally takes about ten minutes, will now take only two minutes by the car. However the car cannot carry vehicles or heavy luggage. A ride will cost Sh20 during off peak hours and Sh50 during peak hours. Yesterday, KFS signed an agreement with a private company to establish the express cable car service across the 500m channel. The service, linking Mombasa island and south mainland, is expected to reduce the long traffic jams and also boost tourism in the South Coast by providing pedestrians with an alternative crossing for the channel and, in the process, reduce delays.
