AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoMaxi Taxi Disruption: Trinidad and Tobago’s three-day “rest and reflection” maxi taxi action is already snarling commutes, with downtown merchants estimating 15–20% of commuters arriving late and delays of 30 minutes to an hour, while City Gate and key hubs see near-empty stands and traffic slowdowns. Accessibility Pressure: The Blind Welfare Association says the strike exposes how public transport failures hit persons with disabilities hardest, turning transport into a life-line issue, not a convenience. Police Contingency: TTPS Commissioner Allister Guevarro ordered police buses to move stranded elderly and students home, though demand outstripped available resources. Industry Fallout: Private hire drivers report higher demand as they expand into maxi routes, while Tobago maxi operators back the protest and cite their own problems like late payments and lack of hubs. Governance & Transparency: A High Court ruling says Tobago’s E-IDCOT is not exempt from FOIA, ordering reconsideration of a request tied to Manta Lodge procurement and a franchise arrangement. Regional Mobility Deal: LIAT and Air Caraïbes signed an interline agreement letting travellers book with one ticket, check luggage through, and connect across the English, French and Dutch Caribbean to Paris Orly. Tourism & Sport: TG Titans Cricket Team heads to Tobago (June 3–8) for matches against Club Crusoe Cuzins and Tobago Legends, using cricket to market Guyana.
