OPPOSITION LEADER Pennelope Beckles said any discussion surrounding potential maxi taxi fare increases along the Priority Bus Route must be approached with care, compassion, and a clear understanding of the realities facing working people. She called on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to meet with the Maxi Taxi Association.

She said the Prime Minister’s “irresponsible attack” on the Maxi Taxi Association signals a leader who has squandered yet another opportunity for constructive engagement.

On December 30, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said there was no justification for any increase to maxi taxi fares.
