CTB (SLTB to be exact has AC buses running from Moratuwa to Pettah. Currently only two buses and within the next few days two more to be added. By the end of the month they expect to have fleet of forty buses. Some of the buses are to be deployed on the Southern highway which apparent scheduled to be opened on August 15th. Update
As of Jan 2014 (and earlier) the Southern Highway Buses run only from Maharagama . The fare is LKR 500. Journey is one and half hours (none rush hours) from Maharagama to Galle. It seems like the private buses have less air conditioning compared to the SLTB buses.
The worst public bus station toilet is in Maharagama. Much worse than Chilaw which is quite bad to start with. Surprised no one has complained.
Check with Pettah Central Bus Stand (+94) 11 2329604-5 about changes.
Info on Katunayake/Negombo to Pettah Highway service.
I won't mind paying 350 to Galle if they maintain the bus like that.
ReplyDeleteSLTB will have color codes for buses; red for AC and blue for non AC, same as in India.
