00:00We are very proud of this project because we are located in Europe and nobody else so fast did this project.

00:16So we are very thankful for our partners, for the boat company who built the boats and it was a big responsibility for the city and for the citizens

00:27to say that we will make a boat in 6-7 months.

00:40If you live in the center in this area and you work here, I guess yes.

00:46Especially maybe women would like it, like a romantic way to go to work or to clear your mind after work.

00:54I think it will be very cool.

00:57If we are saying that it is public transportation, but it is slower than walking, so we are not being honest.

01:11And if we are not being honest about every single part of this green transformation, then people will be confused and in the end they will be disappointed.

01:24For now, I think it is a good experiment and I like experiments, so I am rooting for it to work, but I am a bit skeptical.

01:36How do you learn from it?

01:38I am anxious about this.

01:46You are not alone.

01:48How do you know?

01:50How do you know?

01:52Cause I am happy to see you from here.

01:54I'm happy to see you around this video.

01:56I'm happy to see you at the end of my life.
