(240718) -- CHONGQING, July 18, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Passengers talk to each other on "Yu Zhong Ke 2180" ferry in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, July 10, 2024. "Yu Zhong Ke 2180" ferry remains the last "water bus" running between Yangdu and Xishan wharfs in Zhongxian County of Chongqing. Every day at 6: 30 a.m., the ferry departs on time carrying farmers with baskets of farm produce to urban area to start their business. Qin Dayi, the 45-year-old captain of the ferry, has sailed on the river for over a decade. The ferry offers a journey essential to many, though it was once on the verge of vanishing. In 2016, a new expressway reduced the travel time by bus to just 50 minutes, compared to the two-hour boat journey. Most residents switched to bus travel, but many farmers still preferred the boat, which accommodated their bulky baskets and live animals. The fare is also much cheaper. With the decline in passenger numbers, the fleet of ferries dwindled until only Qin and his partner,
