The mighty tributary of Ganges, the Hooghly River has multidimensional facets centring the daily life and subsistence for the people of the city. This multidimensionality has been significant with the emergence of the Ferry service in Kolkata. The ferry in Kolkata is renowned all over the country for its fast and easy communication connecting the city to its neighbouring districts, and because of its economic aspect. It is cheaper than any other transportation system running in the busy world of Kolkata, thereby bringing the diverse sections of the city together.

Many times, a journey from Kolkata to Salkia takes enormous time due to traffic jam or break-in transportation. Perhaps, daily passengers cannot afford to waste much time in the journey which they would aspire to invest in earning some more for their daily bread. Thus, the Ferry in Kolkata acts as a communicator bridging the gap of time and economy simultaneously.

Besides, the Ferry in Kolkata has been a centre of tourist attraction. If you go to Princep Ghat, you would see people hiring boats on an hourly basis for entertainment and travelling purposes. People even carry out shootings for movies or music videos on the ferry.

The peaceful and amazing view of the Howrah Bridge and the Second Hooghly Bridge tends to make people more affirmative about the subtle connection of transportation and travelling going hand in hand through the Ferry in Kolkata.
