WATER CHARIOTS DEFEND £95 RETURN FARE

摘要

Water Chariots, the company holding the licence to operate water taxi services to the Olympics, has defended the £95 return fare for the half-hour journey. The price includes a glass of champagne or a soft drink, and a live jazz band aboard (although your ticket is only valid for a specific time, and you must check in 40 minutes before departure, to clear Olympic security and avoid queuing). "It's a toe-tapping Henley-on-Thames type of day out," said the organisers.
