We call on the Government of Sri Lanka to modernize the public transport system by introducing a unified prepaid card service for both government (SLTB) and private buses.
This system would:
-
Enhance convenience and transparency for passengers
-
Reduce reliance on cash transactions
-
Improve operational efficiency for transport providers
-
Enable better data tracking for service planning and optimization
Countries across Asia and beyond have successfully adopted smart fare systems. It’s time for Sri Lanka to move toward a cashless, efficient, and commuter-friendly transport future.
Fed up with conductors not having change for 500 notes. Do it now.
