Priority Bus Route opening extended until Tuesday night

The Min­istry of Trans­port and Civ­il Avi­a­tion has ex­tend­ed au­tho­ri­sa­tion for pri­vate mo­torists to use the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route (PBR) un­til 11.59 pm to­mor­row, Tues­day, June 2.

In a state­ment to­day, the min­istry said light mo­tor ve­hi­cles on­ly will con­tin­ue to have ac­cess to both the east­bound and west­bound lanes of the route be­tween Ari­ma and Port of Spain.

The tem­po­rary mea­sure was first in­tro­duced from 2 pm to­day in re­sponse to trans­porta­tion chal­lenges caused by the on­go­ing maxi taxi dis­rup­tion.

The min­istry ad­vised mo­torists to com­ply with all law­ful in­struc­tions from po­lice of­fi­cers and obey traf­fic signs while us­ing the cor­ri­dor.

Dri­vers were al­so urged to ex­er­cise due care and at­ten­tion while trav­el­ling along the route.

The min­istry said the ex­tend­ed arrange­ment will re­main in ef­fect un­til 11.59 pm Tues­day
