Better to take the train instead. As the trains are always late, the gangsters will not be able to attack on time...

Yes of course.... Train brings more profit than a bus with a big crowd.

Isn't it in Hambanthota District?
President & Defence Secretary has to act together to prevent any of these robberies.

to make sure they are false weapons, you have to refuse to give them the money and gold...if they shoot they are real...
