Is the Colombo airport highway open right now?
1 Answer from travellers
Yes, the air conditioned highway bus from the airport to Colombo Makumbura is running normally right now. You can find it just outside the arrivals terminal. It is very cheap and takes about 45 minutes.
Scam Watch: colombo
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.
