WORKS and Transport Minister Jack Warner has indicated that a water taxi service from Point Fortin to San Fernando to Port-of-Spain will begin in the first quarter of 2011.

“The existing fare from San Fernando to Port-of-Spain is $15. The fare that will apply from Point Fortin to San Fernando is $15,” Warner stated. Warner’s disclosure was part of a written response to a question from Point Fortin MP Paula Gopee-Scoon which was circulated in the House of Representatives on Friday.

Warner said arrangements are currently being made to utilise the access channel and construction dock at the Trinmar Jetty, Clifton Hill in Point Fortin. “Once these arrangements are concluded, the water taxi service may be introduced in the first quarter of 2011,” he stated.
