Abstract

Mumbai is India's second most populous metropolis and the world's eighth most populous city, hence providing effective transit facilities is critical. Mumbai's transportation system is under strain due to the city's growing population and migration, resulting in traffic jams and crowding. This study provides a brief summary of the research conducted on the design and development of canal transportation along coastal cities. The many case studies. The transportation modes, namely trains and roads, fall short of meeting the demands for space and frequency of travel. Furthermore, this study focuses on the application of GIS in mapping and modeling. The report also includes information about active and inactive ferry agencies, as well as their sorts. This contributes to transportation engineering,
