Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC has commended the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service for stepping in to assist commuters affected by Monday’s maxi taxi strike.

In an effort to ease the disruption, the TTPS deployed its own fleet of maxi taxis to transport stranded citizens.

Acting on the directive of Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro, five TTPS maxi taxis were dispatched to City Gate in Port of Spain, providing transport along key routes and ensuring that workers, students and families were able to reach their destinations.
