PUTRAJAYA — The free water taxi service launched for the 2026 National Day celebrations has attracted significant patronage from visitors seeking alternative transport across Putrajaya's waterways. The initiative provides attendees with a scenic journey while addressing transport demands during the high-traffic event period.
Operating throughout the celebration period, the water taxis connect key points across Putrajaya's lakes, offering a convenient shortcut to the National Day venue. The service has capitalised on the city's distinctive waterfront geography, transforming transport logistics into an enhanced visitor experience.
The popularity of the scheme reflects growing interest in water-based transport solutions in Malaysia's administrative capital.

The water taxi programme adds to the broader transport arrangements implemented to manage the substantial crowds expected during the National Day festivities in Putrajaya.
