Operators of green band maxi taxis are planning to make good on their threats to protest, starting on Tuesday.
The Route Three Maxi Taxi Drivers Association plan to stage a massive protest at its Chaguanas stand leaving thousands of commuters stranded.
No less than 18,000 people are taken out of the Chaguanas borough by maxi taxis daily to Port-of-Spain and San Fernando, president of the Green Band maxi taxi association, Julian St George said.
That's not counting the number of people who travel by maxi from Chaguanas to Curepe, which is some 15,000, he added.
He said some maxi taxi drivers from the Chaguanas to Curepe route and those working from Chaguanas to St Mary's in Freeport are also expected to join in the protest.
The T&T Taxi Drivers Network are also expected to show their support.
