Mumbai Rains and Hovercrafts

The rains have hit the city of Mumbai with a vengeance and coupled with high tides we have large tracts of water instead of roads.

I remember taking the hovercraft from Gateway of India to Vashi many years ago, it was a memorable experience for my colleague from Ford Michigan.

I plan to exchange my car for an hovercraft, it could be the quickest way to beat the rains in Mumbai, the potholed roads after the rains and also the traffic if you use the Mithi river and the sea for navigation. 

Here is an youtube video of the hovercraft experience

Here are some of the hovercrafts which one can buy if you have the money, I also need to figure out if there is a licence required to sail through Mumbai's waterlogged roads in an Hovercraft.

But anyway here are some of the sites, my favorite is
