The Friday afternoon train is notoriously packed with commuters heading home for the weekend. You will be standing shoulder-to-shoulder. It is a great, chaotic way to meet locals and other backpackers, but guard your bags and be prepared to sweat.

If you want comfort, take the AC highway bus. If you want the classic Sri Lankan vibe, take the train and hang out the open door.

The views right next to the ocean waves make the crowding worth it.

Buy a second-class ticket, but honestly, people just cram into whichever carriage they can fit into.
