caption_attribution_description: English: Singapore bumboat. These tourist-oriented bumboats cruise the Singapore River, offering point-to-point rides starting from $3 and cruises with nice views of the CBD skyscraper skyline starting from $13. In addition, they also shuttle passengers from Changi Village to Pulau Ubin ($2.50 one-way), a small island off Singapore's northeast coast which is about as close as Singapore gets to unhurried rural living.
context_page_description: A bumboat is a small boat used to ferry supplies to ships moored away from the shore. The name comes from the combination of the Dutch word for a canoe—"boomschuit", and "boat".
  In Tobias Smollett's 1748 novel The Adventures of Roderick Random, a "bumboat woman" conducts business with sailors imprisoned on board a pressing tender moored near the Tower Wharf on the Thames River, London, England.
  In HMS Pinafore, W.S. Gilbert describes 'Little Buttercup' as a Bumboat Woman.
  In Singapore the term "bumboat" is applied to small water taxis and boats that take tourists on short tours.
