Hamburg, One of the Most Vibrant Cities in Germany, Is About to Revolutionize the Way Tourists and Locals See Transportation. Specifically, We Are Talking About a Service That Combines the Best of Both Worlds: Land and Water.
Jan-Peter, both captain and driver, describes the novelty as a “tour focused exclusively on HafenCity, the largest construction site in Europe.”
Innovative Transportation: An Adventure on Two Wheels and a Propeller
“This is not a complete tour of the city or the port. We are focused only on HafenCity, and believe me, there is a lot to see here,” said Jan-Peter. According to him, the land route will cover the entire neighborhood, showcasing the architectural wonders and ongoing works. Later, the transport will move to the sea, offering a completely different perspective of the neighborhood.
The vehicle, nicknamed the “Ripper Bus,” uses two propulsion jets that accelerate it to 8 knots, about 15 km/h. “What makes this transportation so unique and stable is the position of the heavy equipment, which is located at the bottom of the vehicle,” explains the captain.
