MTCC revealed that the ferries will travel two routes. Route 406 includes Meedhoo, Rinbidhoo, Hulhudheli and Kudahuvadhoo island, forr which ferries will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Meedhoo, Bandidhoo, Vaaniyaa, Maaenboodhoo and Kudahuvadhoo are on Route 407, and ferries will be operated on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday for the route. Ferries will operate between Meedhoo and Huvadhoo six times a week, said MTCC.
