Unfair Bus Fare in Colombo
Our travel life in Sri Lanka (especially in Colombo) is much connected with public transport services. It could be government or private. You may experience bad experience. Therefore, I would like to start a thread about unfair bus services.
The country has taken a good step. So, we could be part of it and reveal the unfairness.
Case #1 - Bus Registration no. NA-8124
This is 107 route bus. It got in the bus at Pettah. My ticket was Pettah to Kalpotta. Ticket cost is Rs. 14.00. I gave 20/-, and conductor as me 5/- and he would have return 10/- (exactly 11/-). But, he said “wait, I have no change and I will give”. There was crowd when I got down and conductor was in middle of crowd. I tried to get the balance, but bus moved.

Issues:
- Private buses never /rarely give ticket
- Hard to get exact balance
- Scolding people if we ask balance in middle
- Scolding people if we ask at the destination stop
