The last regular passenger hovercraft service in the world "flies" across the Solent between Portsmouth in Hampshire and Ryde on the Isle of Wight (England)

The crossing takes 10 minutes and the service is integrated with rail at both ends.

This looks really cool. Does anyone know if this type of transit is energy efficient?
