Bus conductors refusing large backpacks on the Badulla route

Unfortunately, yes, during rush hour. Local buses do not have luggage compartments. If the bus is packed with commuters and schoolchildren, a massive backpack blocks the narrow aisle and prevents people from moving. The conductor will refuse you. Offer to pay for an extra seat for the bags, or wait for a less crowded bus at mid-day.

It is not a scam, it is just practical physics. The buses get dangerously overcrowded.

Sometimes they let you put it on the engine cover next to the driver if you smile and ask nicely.
