App worked in Colombo. In Deniyaya at night — live cars, or write a fare?

Don't arrive in Deniyaya after dark hunting a machine. Pull extra in a big town. Some ATMs eat cards then sit empty. Keep small notes for tuks.

HNB/Commercial in bigger stops worked for us. Treating cards as backup, not plan A, saved the Deniyaya evening.

If you're tired, stay nearer the bus stand / town centre in Deniyaya and skip chasing a perfect sunset. Pull cash in Colombo, Kandy, or Galle first — cards are a maybe. Locals will tell you if a ticket is counter-only.
