Massive scam! The Pettah bus terminal and the Colombo Fort Railway Station are literally a 10-minute walk apart. They are on the same main road (Olcott Mawatha). Unless you have incredibly heavy luggage that physically prevents you from walking, do not take a tuk-tuk at all. Just walk out of the train station, turn left, and walk straight down the sidewalk.

If you absolutely must take a tuktuk for your bags, use PickMe. It will cost less than 200 rupees.
