Can four people fit in a Sri Lankan tuk tuk.
1 Answer from travellers
Legally and strictly comfortably a standard typical Sri Lankan three wheeler is officially designed to carry a maximum of precisely three adult passengers squeezing tightly across the single back bench seat. Most highly strict urban traffic police in Colombo will absolutely immediately pull over and heavily fine a driver trying to cram four adult tourists into the back. However if you are a family of two adults and two very small young children the drivers in relaxed rural beach towns will almost always happily enthusiastically allow the kids to sit safely directly on your laps for a short quick journey to a nearby restaurant avoiding the need to hire a second vehicle.
