Yarra Water Taxis Kick a Goal for Footy Fans
Water Taxis on the Yarra River will kick a goal for fans wanting to avoid the traffic jams with WTC Wharf and Federation Square teaming up to extend the popular WTC FLOAT TO THE FOOTY service
Phil Hill chats about the Melbourne Water Taxi FLOAT TO THE FOOTY service a joint promotion between WTC Wharf and Federation Square, providing fans with an easy way to get the game the famous MCG on the water and avoid the traffic.
He says Throughout Melbourne's history the Yarra River has provided the common link through the city. It's now increasingly being used to link public facilities such as WTC Wharf, Fed Square and the MCG -- which provide community activity and events and collectively attract more than 20 million visits a year.
