Train

The highlight of taking the train is the scenic beauty. Railway lines which were installed during the British rule in 1864,often cut through forests, with magnificent view of either beaches and sandy shore or waterfalls tea plantations mountain ranges, depending on your excursions. It is advisable to be early at the train station, always be careful while be boarding to train, if you have a specific seat booked. Be patient and wait for 5 minute after the train arrives to get on. occasionally the public is well keep zero discipline when boarding to train.

 

 Public Bus

In main streets there are two types of buses Red color and multiple colors like white, blue pink green. those colorful buses belong to private sector and red buses from the government. both types are super cheap but not much comfortable for families for a long journey, because they drive like crazy, but if you are not travelling at least once in sri lanka your trip isn't complete. 

Tuk Tuk

Tuk Tuk also known as three-wheelers can be easily hailed from the street. There are separate three-wheel parks in almost every town and every major street. Often, you barely have to look for them, instead they find you. Most tuk tuks especially those operating in Colombo have ammeter attached. And so, a fairly priced ride is guaranteed. If not always agree on a price before getting in.

Nearby every tourist attractive places have tuk tuk for rent, you can drive easily Tuk Tuk wherever you want to go. Its easier and cheap. And more fun!!

 

 Cab and private cars

Cabs and cars are extremely comfortable mode of travel. They are efficient and flexible with rentals you may have opportunity to drive yourself or have driver who speak English with local knowledge well.
