This is a very good move. I dont think paying three times would be a problem as who ever going to work by car may be paying 10 times of the normal bus fare

when Buying luxury buses their durability performance and facilities should be strongly analysed M any well known buses transmission set is ZF made as they have proved their long service Many buses plying in european roads and city serviice buses in London are fitted with ZF gear boxes,

Kandy -Colombo route should have such buses, People need comfort when they travel long distance.

Along with this why not have a luxury compartment at higher rates on the trains on the coastline routes. A/c carriage, tea/coffee facilites, courteous waiters/watresses.

You have a great sense Saibu. Me too, is a hater of Ashok Leyland brand. They have a ZERO quality standard when compared with Japanese & European makes. Get Rid Of Lanka Ashok Leyland for good.

very good move

Good move but I think price are bit to high. We can not even manage the normal price to goto work in the morning from Kottawa to petta. Gov should consider doing a pilot run first.

Private bus owners always lick their lips seeing money. This time they've going to spoil the CTB Volvo intercity service. They will start, and then will reduce to the normal ruffian exploitation of money.

The first step towards reducing congestion in the city is improving public transport. So, although there may be pessimists, we must applaud this effort.
Hopefully it will be implemented well.

I am sure if the fare is three times, then there should be the best trained drivers and conductors to go with the better quality of satisfaction and comfort.
This is a very good move to hopefully take at least 30 cars off the road, for every bus that is brought into service. I have no doubt it will catch up if it makes driving into Colombo more costly with surcharges on private vehicles entering Colombo city, an inevitable consequence of urban sprawl and increasing traffic.

Introducing new technology to passenger transport sector is essential. But customer care should also be improved. Today passengers are experiencing unpleasent behaviour of bus workers. This situation may be improved.
