Table 5.10: Electricity Rates in Trinidad and Tobago
Electricity in Trinidad and Tobago is distributed by the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity
Commission (T&TEC)
Transport is affected mainly through buses and thousands of shared
route taxis (cars and minibuses, popularly known as “maxi taxis”).
The buses are operated by the state-run Public Transport Service
Corporation (PTSC). A well-paved route, spanning approximately 28
km from Port of Spain to Arima, following the path of an abandoned
railway (renamed the Priority Bus Route) is used almost exclusively
for buses and hundreds of permitted maxi taxis and thus facilitates
the swift movement of passengers along the East-West “Corridor.”
