How locals move

Getting around Laventille the local way

  • Get inWhen the coach is not running and you aren't carrying massive luggage, you can take a local taxi with a licence plate starting with H at the taxi rank (100 metres to the right of the arrival hall exit) towards what's called "The Junction" and, there, hail a frequently running red-white minivan (Maxi Taxi), which also will drop you off at City Gate (South Quay bus terminal).
  • Get inThe taxi is TT$5, although you'll have to wait for the vehicle to fill up with 4 passengers (which does not take long), and the minivan is US$7 — altogether considerably cheaper than the US$30 for the authorized airport taxi.
