The Government has announced a two-fold increase in the toll for maxi-taxis using the Priority Bus Route (PBR), with the quarterly fee rising from $300 to $600, effective from January 1, 2026. This adjustment only applies to maxi-taxis authorized to utilize the PBR, a vital corridor connecting East-West traffic into the Port of Spain. Operators have voiced concerns that this move will significantly hike operational costs, potentially affecting fares, maintenance, and profitability. This decision comes amidst broader public unease over a series of fee and fine adjustments announced late this year, with transport stakeholders cautioning that these higher fixed costs may ultimately be borne by the commuters. The government has yet to provide further details on possible exemptions, phased implementation, or future consultations with stakeholders.
