Hold on… It seems that the city of Colombo has gone to havoc. Where are all the AC busses heading to the southern part of the country? The strip between Colombo 3 and Colombo 4 has been redefined and restructured. Well sadly not through high tech infrastructure but through so called ONE WAY TRAFFIC!!!Welcome to the new era of Sri Lankan transportation. Highly unorthodox by nature and a purely Sri Lankan innovation as they say…Really am I hypocritical to say so… Well let the readers decide.
Well any new idea has its pros and cons. So the new road order is no exception. Sure it does reduce the daily congestion that drivers and passengers have to go through. But is it feasible for the AC bus passengers who get into the bus from Colombo 3 to Colombo 4 and heading to Moratuwa, Panadura, Kaluthara and Galle. Well I do not think so since the AC buses take their own roots when passing the above mentioned strip. Instead of taking the duplication road the AC buses go through Town Hall and to Wellawattha. This seems to have created mayhem amongst most of the commuters and have created more congestion in trains due to the unwillingness of passengers to take the normal busses specially the office crowd after work. Can we let the commuters go through all the hardships creating unrest in their minds? Hope the authorities would look into this matter and make the new order more feasible for the passengers.
We support the idea but as long as it is implemented in the most equitable manner.
To the relevant authorities...

I would like to add another thing to your post,recently all the traffic plans were changed and there are boards telling drivers to use different ways but the most disgusting thing is, in this multi national country those boards are displayed only in Sinhalese.I don't know how much fair it is!(its not fair at all as i see) so i think this too will come to the concern of the people who are responsible.thanks Dhanushka for making people aware of these things keep on going..
