The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) will commence a luxury bus
service between the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport and Colombo
Fort via the Southern Expressway to facilitate travel for air passengers
from the Mattala airport.
An SLTB spokesman told the Daily News that the luxury bus service
will start concurrently with the opening of the Mattala Rajapaksa
International Airport on March 18 (Monday).
He said 10 luxury buses will be deployed on this route initially. "We
plan to add more buses from the North and East and main towns and cities
across the country on this route in due course.
"Timetables and fares of luxury buses plying on this route will be
released in the coming days," he said.
"We will purchase these luxury buses from India's Ashok Leyland on an
earn and pay basis," he added. |
