There was a fatal accident involving two individuals at Ragama station earlier today. This caused significant delays on the Main Line throughout the morning and afternoon. While the tracks are cleared, most trains are running forty to sixty minutes behind schedule this evening as the network recovers. Check the official railway live app before heading to Fort station.

Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
