Dear Sir,
Please take severe action on this Mattakkuliya buses 145,155 & 178, I’m living here from my birth, They always waste peoples time. They go very slowly, take 50 minutes for matakuliya to fort, they will stop in a halt for 15 minutes. This is the reason I buy bike,
If we want to reduce traffic congestion , these bus should be move fast, these days road repairing work, so they are happy and going very slow, If u not then god should punish them.
176 & 138 bus are very fast and good, hope goverment should chase this Mattakulia, Colombo15 buses.

Kandy to Jaffna CTB Sunday 6.40pm bus (Only Jaffna Depot Buses, Not the Kandy Depot Buses) drivers & conductors illegally booking seats for their friends.
The bus don’t come to Kandy good shed bus stand directly, it goes to Peradeniya University & loading passengers from there and then only comes to Kandy bus stand although they don’t have route permit to go there.
The bus conductors are putting water bottles and saying the seat is booked.
We’re going to Jaffna & we don’t have seats.
It happened on Nov 27 & again today Dec 10.
There should be a legal booking method.
Jaffna bus depot drivers & conductors must be suspended from their duties.
Colombo to akkaraippattu bus service very poor. it was trouble to passengers. There is a separate station for akkaraippattu. Number is 98 but they stopped the bus at 48 hold. it wes a huge confusion to identify the bus. I’ll report to Ministry Once again. Conductor and Driver And the administration of CTB have the accountability to this meaningless action. Minister of transport don’t be foolish it’s for ur awareness.

177 bus NA9722 they stopped the bus more than 30min in Malabe bus station and also conductors behaviour is also bad.
336 Kottawa buses are keeping more than 45 minute in kottawa bus station and he took another 1 hour to come to Malabe. Kottawa to Malabe is just 30 min ride according to google map even if we walk it takes only 2 hours and 3 minutes.
Since this is not free transport government should think about the public as well.

Conducter is with this practice for all the passengers.please be kind enough to take an action against this injustice.
To whom It May Concern,
Im an undergraduate in the University of Colombo, Faculty of Law. On 4th December 2018 I was travelling from townhall to Maharaga in a private bus (pettah-athurugiriya- 1/138- 3937).
I felt very unconfortable with the talking way of the conductor when I asked for balance 20/=. He used to serve the public very rudely. I requet you to consider about this matter as soon as possible. If not another girl’s right to dignity will be violated. This is my initial step and If you take any legal or some action against his behaviour I will be very grateful for you. Thank you.
I got into a 400 bus from Wellawatte that was going to Colombo . Reg. No. ND 8670 and was almost thrown out because the bus was in such a hurry to get away. The conductor was rude and the bus was being driven very recklessly, braking all the time with people standing getting thrown around all the time. This was because there was a 101 bus from Moratuwa coming behind our bus. My stop was Bambalapitiya flats and in spite of my going up to the front and standing near the driver and telling him to stop he just kept driving on very fast without stopping at the halt. I had to keep shouting at him to stop the bus and he too was very rude acting like it was my fault that I didn’t get off at the halt. I managed to get out near Holy Family Convent Bambalapitiya only because the driver had to slow down due to traffic. I’m 67 years old and was scared I would twist or dislocate my arm trying to hang on for dear life. Please investigate and take necessary action against this kind of drivers and conductors. Thank you for your service.

Dear Sir/Madam,
The CTB bus number NC 1014 driver is an indiscreet driver. They have been given a separate bus lane, He drives the bus on the way, in the opposite direction. This is a great ailment for other drivers. As he is not allowed to go, he moves the bus to the same chariot as he himself is in the vehicals. I was struck by such a bitter, horrible experience. If my husband did not function properly we would have been a hospital or even died. I kindly request that stern action be taken by such drivers. If this is not the case, these unsettled drivers have repeatedly tried to kill innocent lives.
Please make immediate action
Thank you.
2019/01/09 WP NB-1245 this bus driver Colombo to Kandy running he stopped every bus hold and pick the people he drive the bus like crazy person hope you people take action for him
Kelaniya to pettah ctb buses never issue tickets and over charging all the time. Less than RS.5 balance is not returned. Conductors are becoming more worse than the beggers get into the buses.
Horrible service. Too loud music. Bus didn’t stop at the bus stand. When I asked the bus driver to stop, he went away without stopping and shouted at me. I want the bus driver penalized for this and an apology ASAP.

Dear Admin,
The conductor of C T B bus from Putlum to Kandy [around 7.15am @ Nikaweratiya] shouted at me indisciplinary way that it was not allowed to travel with Monthly Season Ticket from Nikaweratiya to Kurunegala on this bus. I want a lodge my complain regarding this & I want to know that is there such a rule ? Thank you.
This is regardin WP-NH 3081 kottwawa -borella bus. I gave 15 for 12 Rs/= bus fair and eventhough conductor has lots of coins in his pockets and hand he didn’t give me the balance and continuously asked me to give 2 Rs/= instead. So finally I didn’t get my balance.
So also driver scolded to a one passenger in a very unpleasant manner. Please consider about these things

The conductors in the busses of keppetipola depot which runs from welimada to bandarawela does not let school students with season tickets in until after all the others get in. This is very inconvenient as the bus is already loaded with passengers when students get in. So they mostly have to go on the foot board. You should really look into this because it is very dangerous.
Yesterday evening I took the madakalapuva-panadura bus from ingiriya to sawgashandiya. When I’m getting into the bus, driver and conductor said nothing to me and let me get into the bus. (usually, I take this bus to reach sawgashandiya.). But when I rang the bell to get off from the bus, bus driver got so angry and he spoked to me very angrily and threatened me to not to get on this bus again. Those words, that he spoke, is not appropriate for a lady, not even for an animal. I was so scared and embarrassed and I cried a lot at that movement but the driver keeps scolding me again and again. This should not happen to anyone because they got their wages because we are paying taxes and bus fee for the sltb and drivers and conductors should treat their customers well.
event though if the bus driver wanted to say that I can’t take this bus to travel sawgashandiya , he could have said that nicely at the first place so I can take another bus.
If you guyz don’t take any actions against this, I will put a complaint against that bus driver about this harassment
Administrating is shot, bibila -panadure bus had tire punch passing haputhale at 11.30am, bt who ever that responsible person not given permission for Charges of the rest, and driver desided to go to sltb point nearest by slowly , (balangoda) with passengers, 2 1/2 hours time rated by sltb administrators! !!
Hi,
I was travelling to Colombo from Gampola on 16th August,2019 by GP58 Bus Blongs to Gampola Depot. The bus driver was always on the phone and driving below 40 most of the time due to that. He was dialing the phone in one hand while the bus was passing Utuwankante. Please force drivers not to use the phone while driving and make sure they reach the destination on time.
I traveled today wattala to pettah in NB-8876 welisara depot bus. That bus conductor gave some hand writed tickets. it’s not a valided printed ticket and his take over charge all passangers. wattala to colombo 23Rs but his take 30Rs. i asked why to more then take money. his telling “we’re going fast”
Kadawatha – Pettah (261 rout) bus drivers, driving between Hendala junction and Mahara Junction is worst and too dangers to the pedestrians. The drivers are running race, between the two buses. The school kids are afraid to walk on the road. The drivers are might be drank while driving.
I could suggest to fix speed breakers on the rush areas to reduce their speed. Who could be helped on this issue?
