- Jetstream Tours, the leading tour boat operator in Medway, is developing plans for a 'foot and cycle' ferry service across the River Medway to ease the pressure on the congested road network around the Medway City Estate. It is proposed that the service could operate daily between Sun Pier and a newly installed landing pontoon adjoined to the Estate, with departures every 10-15 minutes during peak times, taking less than 5 minutes. It is hoped that the ferry will encourage more workers to use an environmentally-friendly mode of transport, in turn reducing the volume of traffic on currently affected roads and improving the air quality for residents. The local economy of the town centre will also benefit from the ferry service, as it will be much more convenient for workers to purchase food and do shopping at lunch time. Subject to funding and permissions, the plans are currently under development and no timescale for the delivery of the ferry service has emerged yet.
