Yangon River

17 JUNE 2013 - YANGON, MYANMAR: A Yangon River water taxi takes people across the Yangon River. The ferry to Dala opposite Yangon on the Yangon River is the main form of transportation across the river. Every day the ferry moves tens of thousands of people across the river. Many working class Burmese live in Dala and work in Yangon. The ferry is also popular with tourists who want to experience the "real" Myanmar. The rides takes about 15 minutes. Burmese pay about the equivalent of .06¢ US for a ticket. Foreigners pay about the equivalent of about $4.50 US for the same ticket. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
