While maxi-taxi drivers participated in yesterday’s strike action in south Trinidad, there was not a complete shutdown of brown- and black-band maxi-taxis on day one of the proposed three-day action yesterday.

These bands service areas like Siparia, Penal, Point Fortin, Princes Town and its outskirts.

Across at King’s Wharf there were four brown-band maxis on the San Fernando to Point Fortin maxi stand when the Express visited yesterday morning.
