At least freaking do maintain them, the current state is perhaps the worse in my lifetime.

I honestly have not been to a single country that has roads worse than ours.
Are you willing to pay more taxes to maintain them, trinis want the perfect system when they pay little to no tax as compared to other countries. You are aware in other countries you have to pay for your garbage disposal, we get it here for free


which countries are those?

You probably need to travel off the beaten path now and then. Yeah, in "first world" countries too.

Yes, it's part of property or municipal taxes. The problem is these kants here want to tax you and then still have you bussing tyre, mashing up suspension, getting flood out.

A simple solution traffick is a more reliable public transport system. But they eh find a way to make money from that as yet so they rather pave more road.

Thieves....all of them


PTSC is a Joke, ask anybody who even attempts to use that transport service. Buses are never on time, often 2 HOURS late and always breaking down because they run so much racket and corruption that the VOLVO Company has officially blacklisted PTSC and has refused to conduct any form of business with them.
PTSC keeps moving from one garbage Chinese brand to another, buying complete garbage disposable buses, there are talks of corruption with these Chinese companies as well. PTSC is an absolute embarrassment to this country, tourists cannot even get a semi reliable bus service to the Airport to catch their flight on time, but these idiots keep advertising this country as a tourist destination and lying to people.

Other countries have made moves to create dedicated cycling lane to promote the use of bicycles, currently there is a boom in Electric Battery Powered Bikes, we should be capitalizing on this to push people into this direction as this would solve a lot of issues in the city with regards to parking and congestion, but POS is filled with vagrants and sprangers looking to steal what you have.

Been doing some research but came up empty. Why was the railway stopped here? Besides not being feasible to the govt?

Probably because it was too difficult to steal money from it.

The government doesn't create something specifically to solve an issue, first someone has to eat ah food like they did with the 250 million dollar "feasibility" study on the Rapid Rail, a study completely made up so they can throw away money because a University grad with no useful skill in life needs to make money for the school to justify these overpriced degrees they sell.

In places like China they just get sheit done, doesn't matter what it is. If it's needed for the betterment of the country and the communist party it gets done and for a fraction of the price. Here in the West we rather spend half the budget on an imaginary "feasibility study" and then cancel the project halfway and claim we have no money after everybody eat ah food. This scam isn't unique to Trinidad but also in the USA where they have one of the most backward public transport system in the developed world it is a total joke compared to Europe and Japan

Zoom have the answer from another ched:

zoom rader wrote:A scrap iron dealer that sold the trains to Brazil.

It was a collaboration between him and the then new car dealers lobbying PNM to scrap the trains.

French Creoles made a mint with new car sales and insurance.

At the same time NP was formed.


Also Eric Williams was bussing the railway union at that time.

The Rapid Rail idea by Manning was too expensive. When Rowley brought back the idea, IDB wasn't going to fund it. They were willing to fund that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system instead but since it was a Kamla idea, it was ignored.

In China they do sub standard work.

They would not dare try that abroad
