In its 6 a.m. Port of Spain update, the operator marked Round D Town, Queen’s Park Savannah, Oropune Gardens, Diego Martin and Maloney with red crosses. The Maloney departure is listed for 6:15 a.m. These are the specific departures in that update, rather than an all-day cancellation notice.

The same post gave green ticks to the San Fernando coach and limited-stop services, Chaguaramas, Arima All Stop, Santa Cruz, Edinburgh 500 and Chaguanas. Those are the operator’s published statuses, not independent confirmation that a bus has departed. No reason for the unavailable services or restoration time is supplied in the post.

By its 10 a.m. Port of Spain update on Monday 2 November, PTSC marked Diego Martin, Chaguanas and Piarco unavailable. It gave green ticks to Arima All Stop, the San Fernando coach service and Chaguaramas. This is a later set of listed departures; it does not establish when any earlier cancelled service resumed.

In its 2 p.m. Port of Spain notice, edited at 2:01 p.m., PTSC gave green ticks to Diego Martin, Chaguaramas, Chaguanas, Arima All Stop and Piarco; it listed 2:11 p.m. beside Arima and 2:10 p.m. beside Piarco. A separate notice posted at 2:04 p.m. marked the 2:30 p.m. Santa Cruz service unavailable. This later departure list differs from the morning snapshot, but does not establish when earlier unavailable services resumed or that each listed bus actually departed.

PTSC’s evening update, posted at 5:59 p.m. on Monday 2 November, marks the 6 p.m. Erin and Fyzabad services from San Fernando unavailable. It marks the UWI concessionaire, Princes Town, Port of Spain Deluxe Coach and Chaguanas services available. A separate 5:55 p.m. post lists Curepe and San Fernando as available in the 6 p.m. Chaguanas update. These are the operator’s published service statuses; the posts give no reason or restoration time for Erin and Fyzabad and do not independently confirm bus departures.

PTSC’s public channel notice, edited at 10:02 a.m., marked San Fernando Limited Stop, Chaguanas (10:08 a.m.) and Arima All Stop (10:10 a.m.) with green ticks. It marked Chaguaramas and Diego Martin with red crosses and Piarco with a pause symbol. The operator did not give a reason or resumption time in that post. The marks describe the published 10 a.m. list only; they do not establish that a bus actually left or that a later service had the same status.

When the Tuesday morning Port of Spain list was rechecked in the afternoon, it showed Piarco with a green tick and 10:20 a.m. beside it, rather than the pause mark recorded in the earlier reading. Chaguaramas and Diego Martin remained marked with red crosses. This later snapshot does not establish the time of any resumption or confirm an actual departure.

In a separate notice posted at 2 p.m. on Tuesday 3 November, PTSC marked its 2 p.m. service from Point Fortin to San Fernando with a red cross. The notice gives no cause or resumption time. It concerns that listed service, not proof that every later journey on the route is cancelled.

PTSC posted a further notice at 5:54 p.m. on Tuesday for its 6 p.m. Port of Spain services. Green checks mark Arima Transit, Diego Martin and Sangre Grande; red crosses mark Chaguaramas, Chaguanas and Piarco. This later notice concerns those six Port of Spain services. It does not establish a restoration or continued suspension of every route mentioned in the earlier 2 p.m. notices.
