The Priority Bus Route (or PBR) is a public transit corridor roadway on Trinidad island in Trinidad and Tobago.

It is dedicated for use only by buses, maxi taxis, and emergency vehicles. Other vehicles can only use this road if the owner possesses a special pass. At times the bus route is opened or partially opened to light motor vehicles in response to heavy traffic, road works or traffic diversions.
