Currently the Ministry of Works and Transport does not have a place with a single list which is easy to search if you are planning to use public transport in Trinidad and Tobago.
There are many different types of public systems and this is a short list of them.
Google and other maps currently do not have Transit information available so this is a makeshift option.
Every City, Town and Village would have a regular pickup spot for transport but may not be highlighted with signs on the streets or exist on Google and other maps. You may have to ask someone from the area where is best to wait for transport.
The vast majority of these only accept cash. It is extremely rare to see a public transport vehicle with the ability to pay with a card or app.
Each time you enter a different vehicle you start a new fare, there is no discount or transfer option between any services.

Alternatively, if you look on your favorite search engine for taxis you will many many private services. There are also a few on demand (Uber style) apps but all of there cost more than the services listed above.
It is my opinion that the government has no plan to make it easier for commuters and their lack of a list like this is an obvious indication. The ultimate goal of having a list of transport locations and the prices would be to find available options and the times they run so at least you have an idea of what to expect. I say an idea because there is little chance that schedules would be accurate.
With crime, climate and the economy being what is I believe thousands of commuters would benefit. This issue with having the government accomplish this is- it makes sense.
