Passenger ferry boats of different capacities operate and are one of the most affordable modes of transportation. This research investigates the effectiveness of passenger ferry services within Mumbai Municipal Boundary, operating in its backwater, creek networks, and western and eastern coastlines. Passenger ferries have the potential to promote sustainable and resilient transportation in the region. The literature review shows an absence of evaluation mechanisms to assess the quality and performance provided for passenger ferries in Indian cities using the Level of Service (LOS) concept. The study aims to assess operational performance by proposing a step-by-step evaluation framework for ferry services based on the LOS. Both passengers and operators’ perspectives are considered while suggesting proposals. The outcome is in the form of a procedure that can be adopted for forming and calculating route-wise LOS and recommendations for operators to generate additional revenue. The insights gained from this research will be valuable for policymakers, academics, and stakeholders, enabling them to assess, improve, and allot investments for ferry services in their respective cities as per their unique requirements.
