Transportation in Sri Lanka is a chapter in itself. Air service is available or you could rent a car (if you dare), but if you want to see and experience Sri Lanka, you should use the Railway or go by the old roads. You can go almost everywhere either by bus or train. It is cheap, crowded and stuffy - and demands patience and good nerves. However it can be a great experience, and you no doubt meet new friends within short. Tuk-tuks (bajajs or 3-wheelers) are convenient for short trips. There are a lot of them - and you cannot avoid being offered a "taxi" in the street. Do remember to agree on a price, before you get in. |
