The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) has announced a special bus service to facilitate travel during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year period.
According to Panduka Swarnahansa, Deputy General Manager of the SLTB, 500 additional buses will be deployed to accommodate passengers traveling to their hometowns for the celebrations.
- Phase 1 (April 9–13): Special buses will be available for those traveling to their villages.
- Phase 2 (April 16–20): Services will cater to those returning to Colombo after the festivities.
This initiative aims to ensure safe and efficient transportation during the peak travel season, easing congestion and providing convenience to the public.
