Public Transportation Development

Government initiatives to modernize Sri Lanka's public transportation system through Lanka Metro Transit. Plans include the deployment of 112 new low-floor buses and infrastructure development with significant capital investment.

Rs. 800 million for 112 buses works out to about Rs. 7 million per bus—pretty solid investment until you realize they'll probably spend the first three months arguing about which route gets them first. Low-floor buses are great for accessibility, but let's see if they can stay accessible when everyone's using them as mobile vegetable markets by month two.
