Water Taxis of Paris

Here is a nice map of the water taxi system in Paris, circa 1900.

Boats pulled by horses or with oars or sails were eventually replaced by steam powered boats in the 1800's. They were a large part of the Paris transportation network before the railroads took over in the early 1900's. 

Recently a new commuter boat service the Voguéo was started to serve part of the area. The maps are not nearly as attractive.
