Meet Wada Hoppah: The new ferry from Watertown to downtown Boston

• The Wada Hoppah will stop at multiple docks along the route, seven days a week.

Why it matters: Boston automobile traffic is terrible, and Wada Hoppah founder Drew Rollert thinks utilizing the river is a way to decrease congestion and emissions.

Details: The all-electric ferry boat is being specially built to sail on the Charles, which is as shallow as 18 inches in some spots.

• Organizers say the 47-foot trimaran will hold around a dozen passengers and won't create a wake.

The route from Watertown Square to Beacon Hill would run around 67 minutes, slightly longer than public transit options, but passengers are guaranteed a seat, owner Rollert tells Axios.
