Taking surfboards on the Makumbura to Galle luxury highway bus
3 Answers
Yes, but it depends heavily on the crowd and the time of day. The luxury AC buses have deep undercarriage storage, but passenger luggage takes strict priority. If you travel during off-peak hours (like 11 AM or 2 PM on a Tuesday), the conductors will usually slide it in for a small tip. During Friday evening rush hour, they will flatly refuse because the compartments are packed with suitcases.
Always wrap your board in a proper padded day bag. The conductors will toss heavy suitcases right on top of it without a second thought.
I tried this on a Friday afternoon and got rejected by three buses in a row. I had to pay for two seats in a shared minivan instead to get my board down south.
