Goa is set to embark on a landmark transport initiative with the launch of its first water metro project, designed to connect Vasco in Mormugao with Dona Paula in Tiswadi.
The announcement was made by Subhash Phal Dessai, Minister for Drinking Water and Social Welfare, at a programme in Vasco. The minister highlighted that the project is being evaluated in collaboration with the Centre, with feasibility studies and operational plans currently underway.
“The water metro project will help ease road traffic and also strengthen tourism in Goa,” Phal Dessai stated.
Once implemented, the water metro is expected to:
- Provide a faster and sustainable commuting option for residents and tourists.
- Significantly reduce road congestion, especially on busy stretches connecting Vasco and Dona Paula.
- Offer a new tourist experience, enhancing Goa’s reputation as a world-class travel destination.
Authorities are confident that the project will not only improve connectivity but also serve as a green alternative to traditional transport, aligning with global trends in sustainable mobility.
With the evaluation process in progress, the people of Goa can look forward to an innovative mode of transport that will redefine travel within the state.
