Official existing tuk fare is Rs. 110 for the first kilometre and Rs. 90 each extra. Roadside quotes often sit around Rs. 110-120 because the NTC draft is with the Ministry and is not law. A 15-rupee 92 cut is not a tuk coupon. In Galle, ask once for the meter, then lock a number. new-town plate, Fort cobbles on foot, last tuk drop at the gate.

We asked for the meter around Galle and sometimes got it off the rank. new-town plate, Fort cobbles on foot, last tuk drop at the gate. If the quote is double a sensible hop, wait; if it is a small bump, pay. Shoes you can stand in, not the pretty pair.
If the quote is silly, walk fifty metres. Do not call a provincial office from the step. NTC holds the story; nobody is cutting fares this afternoon. Water in the bag beats a maybe stall.
