The luxury AC buses have deep undercarriage storage, but it fills up fast. A 6-foot shortboard can usually fit if you arrive at the Bastian Mawatha bus stand at least an hour before departure. You will need to tip the luggage loader (about 500-1000 LKR) to ensure it is placed carefully on top of the suitcases so it does not get crushed.

Make sure you have a heavily padded travel bag. The roads get very bumpy near Pottuvil.

If you have a longboard (8ft+), they will refuse it. You will have to book a private van.
