Rules for bringing large backpacks on public CTB buses from Pettah

Question

We are taking a red government bus from Pettah Do they allow large backpacks on board or will the conductor charge us extra

Ruwan P. · Accepted Answer

Red CTB buses do not have luggage compartments underneath. You must bring the bag inside. If your bag is massive (60L+) and takes up a seat or blocks the aisle, CTB policy dictates the conductor can charge you for an extra passenger seat. It is completely legal and standard practice. Just pay the extra 2 dollars, it is worth it so you do not have to hold it on your lap.

Try to sit near the front driver cabin. You can sometimes rest the bag on the hot engine cover next to the driver.

If the bus is absolutely packed during rush hour, they will just refuse to let you on entirely.
