Water taxi, PTSC to give pre-schoolers land/sea travel experience

The Water Taxi Service and the Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) are embarking on an initiative to provide the students of the St. Helena’s Community Early Childhood Education Centre with the experience of an alternative mode of transportation on Friday from the Water Taxi Terminal, Port-of-Spain at 10am. 

The Centre is a Government-assisted school that caters to children between the ages of 3-5 years old. 

The public transportation systems said in a media release the initiative is to give the children the opportunity to understand “transportation” by travelling by on both land and sea in one day.

The pupils of the St Helena Early Childhood Education Centre, their parents and teachers will board PTSC buses at the school and head to the Water Taxi Service Terminal in Port of Spain.

They will all board one of the four new fast ferries of the Water Taxi Service, commissioned by transportation minister Jack Warner on October 22nd 2010.

The children will make a return trip to San Fernando and the PTSC will then travel home on buses provided by the PTSC.
