Dear Chairman,
This complaint is referring to Yatadola_Kalutara bus root.
There are only few busses where drive once an hour eventhough so many people are there to travel daily including students as well.
This is a very sad story that we have experienced from our childhood. Appreciate if you could manage the available resources at least during the peak time. Further I don’t understand why these busses have not been scheduled according to the train timetable so that people can travel without the hassle of waiting for minutes at the bus stand. Kindly Consider fixing this matter as soon as possible as this is critical as many people are affected.
Thank You

This is to lodge a complaint on the bus ruining on route number 215 Kiribathgoda-Ragama. On 21-04-2021 I got into the bus from Ambalama junction to get down from Kiribathgoda where I received a ticket to Kiribathgoda mentioning that I got in from Kurusa junction which stop is like 1.5km way behind form where I get in.
When asked he said that is how ticket machine works. But when I was charged yesterday for the same distance it was rs.6 less.
I raise this voice because there are people who spend rs.6/- with enormous difficulty.
Rectify your tickets machine.
Hawa eliya to Nuwara eliya bus fare is 17/- But
If we give 20/- the conductor didn’t give the balance.. Today I traveled in a Kandapola bus with my brother and i gave 40/- When I ask for the balance conductor told me “you must have the balance if you come to Nuwara eliya”, I shocked. (Per person Just Rs3…Forget it, but his way of talking is very bad)
There are lot of people got into the bus at the same place and they also not had their balance. (For an example there are 6 people’s travelled the conductor get Rs 6*3= 18/=) If they ask their balance conductors didn’t respond them.. Please take some actions for this problem.. I hope ur considerations..

The driver was racing with another bus, and despite the many complaints of the passengers to slow down, as he was driving insanely fast, he continued to overtake, race, break and not drop the passengers in the required bus stop.
All passengers found it extremely hard to hold on, and I particularly was seated and still found it hard to hang on and not fall.
I could only imagine what would have happened if someone fell off the bus and injured themselves or even the bus met with an accident and hurt people.
Every day i travel to from ibbagamuwa to dambulla.i work in government office.i have to go time.every day i came bus holt 07.00 clock.that time came to colombo trincomalee CTB bus. But BN.ND-9465 bus not stop this halt.one day after another day i face this inconvenience case.he tell me he can’t stop bus only me…please inquire this problem..
I m a government health staff worker who’s travelling frm Daluwaththa, Payagala to Nulluruwa, Panadura when I got off frm duty
Conductor in the Aluthgama – Colombo , RT :400, NB 9464 numbered bus is saying that this bus can’t drop me frm the Nalluruwa Junction . He was way too rude insisting that bus is not gonna stop at that halt . Same thing happens with this particular bus everytime. Pls look into the matter n take action to fix this issue. Conductor was selectively taking passengers into the bus inquiring the halt where they getting off , imposing various conditions on them insisting that they have to travel distance further than what he desires . I wait hours to get in this bus since all other busses that’s destination is our capital travel routes are way further than this . It’s such a inconvenience, look into the matter kindly n take prompt action pls
Cheap hospitality to customer. Especially the enquiry office employee. Hesitates to guide passager. They just keep talking with co employees. Those idiots
Dear sir,
Now this time 2023/04/16 (5:35pm) I was starting my journey Colombo to batticaloa. Today don’t open booking area, so I got ticket from the but contactor,
According to ticket receipt price 1021Rs but the bus contactor ask 1400Rs, then I asked for him why you are collect 1400Rs, he don’t give any response. (I don’t have any luggages)
Bus no; NC 1217
Colombo to batticaloa
According to ticket receipt 1021Rs
But he collect 1400Rs
I asked for him whyyyyy you are collecting like this but he don’t give any response. ( I don’t have any luggages)
Bus no: ND 9757
Route: colombo to kalmunai
The but contactor collect ticket price but he don’t give ticket. I request ticket but he don’t give.
This is regarding express my dissatisfaction with the Hands Global Holding Pvt Ltd, S.L.T.B service I received on my recent bus booking with your company. I had booked a bus ride on 2023/06/04 from Hatton to Colombo. eTicket Booking Ref-337162452586583,However, I arrived at the bus stop earlier than the scheduled departure time, only to find out that the bus had already left.
To make matters worse, the conductor of the bus was extremely rude and unprofessional when I approached him to ask about the situation. He did not provide any explanation for the early departure and instead, was dismissive and unhelpful.
Furthermore, I had already paid for the bus booking, booking for 2 seats and i paid 1069.00rs but did not receive a refund for the missed ride. This is unacceptable and I request that you initiate the refund process as soon as possible.
I am disappointed with the poor service I received and hope that you will take appropriate action to address this issue. All the attachment below,
I need a justification for this issue
Dear Chairman,
It is possible to inform about a financial fraud in a bus owned by Sri Lanka Transport Board
NB- 9279 This fraudulent act is carried out by the conductor of this bus which departs from Colombo to Kegalle via Ja-Ala, Gampaha, Yakkala and Kegalle.
This bus reaches the C.T.B junction at 4.40 pm, where a group of employees of Lakdiwa Engineering Company board this bus and they have a pass that has expired for more than 2 years. A ticket is given and money is collected and some money is collected from some other people but he is not given a ticket.
Also two or three people are given a ticket and no money is taken from them. It is impossible to imagine what kind of fraud this is.
He has been doing this fraud for several months.
Before this, this conductor is a person who committed a fraudulent act and was banned from service.
I kindly ask you to look into this fraudulent act.
