Transport: Catching a bus in Colombo is an experience in itself and is
perhaps recommended only for hardened travellers. Buses become
incredibly crowded and are erratic, with no obvious schedule. A far
safer way to negotiate the city is via taxi. Prices should be
agreed on before hand as very few have meters, though they are
usually cheap and easy to hail. Driving in the city is as much of
an adventure as taking a bus and normal traffic rules do not seem
to apply. It would be well worth rather hiring a car with a driver.
Three-wheeled auto rickshaws are also available, and although
usually somewhat cheaper than taxis, are not exactly a comfortable
ride.
Intrepid Travel is one of the world's leading suppliers of small
group adventures focused on getting off the beaten track and having
real life experiences in Sri Lanka.
