Local Transportation: If you stay in the outlying areas, a car or scooter might be necessary for reliable local travel. Avoid the dangerous driving conditions of the city, especially during rush hour! Taxis come in two varieties, fixed route and private. Fixed route taxis have fixed rates for a given route. You can be dropped off anywhere on a route for the fixed rate. Private taxis take you where ever you want to go. Check a taxi to see if it is fixed route or private before entering although for an additional charge the fixed rate taxi's are obliged to go off route. Local buses are an inexpensive alternative but they are crowded and run down. The ferry between Trinidad and Tobago is about a 4 1/2 hour trip but not recommended for those less than seaworthy patrons which is probably most of us. Air Caribbean or BWIA can get you there much more comfortably.
