But I have them now.
Here in Dubai the "abra"s (small open waterbuses) carry about 40,000
pax per day, on two short creek crossings at a fare of 50 fils (about
13 cents US). Privately operated, but licensed and regulated by
ourselves. They are much the quickest way of crossing the creek. A
third crossing is planned.
