Special bus services will continue to operate for commuters returning to Colombo after the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, according to H. Piyathilaka, Transport Manager of the Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB).
He stated that a 24-hour bus service is already in operation, and a special service has been arranged specifically for devotees attending the ‘Siri Dalada Wandanawa’ in Kandy, with nearly 150 SLTB buses deployed along the Kandy–Colombo route.
Piyathilaka further noted that from April 10 to April 19, the SLTB generated nearly Rs. 1,300 million in revenue, with income expected to rise further in the coming days.
