You’ve probably seen different kinds of bridges around the world but have you ever come across a floating bridge? People in Bangladesh used to cross Buriganga River by boats but due to the enormous growth of the water hyacinth, it became difficult for boats to move from one end to the other.
With great ingenuity, a group of boatmen used 34 small boats and connected them together to form the floating bridge. Because of this creativity, people can now manoeuvre their way from one boat to the next until they reach the other side. However, a fare of 2 BDT (Bangladeshi Taka) (SGD $0.03) is charged per person. This way, the boatmen will still be able to get an alternative income until the water clears out and the boats resume sailing.
