The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) Hatton depot is set to introduce a safari bus service aimed at promoting tourism in the region.
The bus has been refurbished from an older vehicle sourced from the Ratmalana depot and redesigned specifically for tourist use at a cost of Rs. 4 million.
Equipped with 42 seats, the bus includes modern सुविधities such as air conditioning, a sound system, and a television. It has also been modified with open-roof and window access, allowing passengers to enjoy sightseeing more comfortably.
The new service is expected to operate across key tourist destinations, including Sri Pada (Adam’s Peak) and several areas within the Nuwara Eliya district.
