Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Bus Sri Lanka's buses are the country's main mode of transport. They cover most towns,
are cheap and are often crowded. Only a few routes have air-con buses. Private buses can
offer a bit more comfort than government buses.
Car Many travellers use a hired car with a driver for all or part of their trip. This allows max-
imum flexibility and is the most efficient way to get around. Many drivers are delightful char-
acters and founts of local knowledge.
Train The improving railway network serves major towns and can be more comfortable
than buses (excepting third-class carriages). Some routes, such as Haputale to Ella and
Colombo to Galle, are renowned for their scenery.
