==== Buses ==== [[Amfibus]] amphibious buses made by Dutch Amphibious Transport (DAT) in [[Nijmegen]], Netherlands are used to operate tours of [[Amsterdam]], [[Rotterdam]] and [[Lübeck]], under the ''Splashtours'' brand. The buses have a [[Volvo]] chassis and carry 43 passengers. The operation started in 2010 in [[Katendrecht]], Rotterdam, was copied in Amsterdam in 2011 but suspended in 2012 after technical problems, and then relaunched in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dutchamsterdam.nl/406-amphibious-bus-canal-tours-amsterdam|title=Splashtours: Amphibious bus ride through the canals of Amsterdam|date=26 June 2018}}</ref> A tour of Lübeck was launched in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.splashtour-luebeck.de/EN/Splashtours-bus/|title = Splashtour Lübeck - Splashtours bus}}</ref> In 2010 it was tested as a replacement for the [[Renfrew Ferry|ferry]] at Renfrew, Scotland, but not adopted.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://newatlas.com/stagecoach-amphibious-bus-amfibus/14130/|title = Britain's first amphibious bus nearly becomes a submarine|date = 11 February 2010}}</ref> A similar service, using different vehicles, operates in [[Porto]]. <gallery widths="200px" heights="160px"> File:Splashtour 'Amfibus' amphibious bus, An der Untertrave, Lübeck, 12 August 2020.jpg|Splashtour 'Amfibus' amphibious bus, An der Untertrave, Lübeck, 12 August 2020 File:Amphibious bus on Thames river.jpg|upright|Amphibious tour bus{{Snd}}a converted [[DUKW]]{{Snd}}on Thames river in London near Lambeth Bridge. </gallery>
