The National Transport Commission (NTC) has announced special bus services for the upcoming Tooth Relic Exposition, which is being held for the first time in 16 years. Operations Director Shereen Athukorala confirmed that discussions with relevant officials took place yesterday to finalize transport arrangements for the event, which coincides with the Sinhala and Tamil New Year period.
Buses operating between Colombo and Kandy will be directly managed by the NTC, while temporary driving permits will be issued for provincial buses to accommodate the anticipated influx of devotees. These special services will commence on April 18, aligning with the opening of the exposition, and will supplement the regular daily bus services.
The Tooth Relic Exposition will begin on April 18, with the inaugural day’s viewing scheduled from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. From April 19 to 27, the relic will be exhibited daily from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
