April 14, Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) has announced that bus operations today will be flexible, with services adjusted in line with passenger demand following the festive period.
In many parts of the country, buses are expected to run largely according to their regular timetables, ensuring minimal disruption for daily commuters.
However, recognising the surge in travel after the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, transport authorities have put additional measures in place. Special bus services are scheduled to run from April 16 to 21, aimed at assisting those returning to Colombo after spending the holidays in their hometowns.
Rail services are also being strengthened during this busy period. The supplementary train operations introduced for the festive season will remain in effect until April 19, providing added capacity for passengers journeying back from various regions across the island.
Officials noted that these arrangements are intended to ease congestion and provide a smoother travel experience as normal routines gradually resume.
