Kandy private bus operators inconvenience public

Private buses operating on the Kandy-Akurana-Alawathugoda road cause much hardship to commuters. All rules are flagrantly violated by most of these bus operators.

This bus service starts from the Clock Tower bus stand in Kandy. Buses do not move until the next bus on schedule arrives, from which point on it starts crawling up the Ismail Clock Tower.On the way too the bus stops for a few minutes near the Kandy Kachcheri.

At Katugastota town halt, it stops for a few minutes, sometimes even five minutes, before it proceeds the 100 metres to the next halt. Here the engine is switched off and both the driver and conductor alight from the vehicle at the entrance to the Matale road near the small bridge.

This takes about 10 minutes.

These buses do not move from bus halts until the next bus arrives and takes over 15 minutes to move out of Katugastota town.

The distance from Kandy to Katugastota is only 10 kilometres, but the journey takes more than an hour.The public has called on the Private Passenger Transport Authority from Kandy to send a representative to travel in one of these buses to ascertain for themselves the mischief the private bus operators are upto in this area.
