The river bus service has recently expanded, adding a new pier adjacent to Battersea Power Station. The pier operated by MBNA Thames Clippers is located in Circus West Village with river buses running every 20 minutes during rush hour.
According to reports over 4.1 million commuters and visitors travelled on the River Thames in 2017 alone. The operator introduced two new boats to the fleet– Mercury Clipper and Jupiter Clipper- to meet demand. This was part of a £6.3 million investment in the river travelling business. The Battersea pier is the latest addition to London’s most popular river route – RB6 – which has seen an increase of 58% commuter traffic in two years.
