Pettah has two bus stands. The Red CTB (government) buses leave from the Central Bus Stand, which is the massive concrete terminal with proper bays. The private white/blue buses leave from Bastian Mawatha just across the road. For Matara, look for route 32. Just ask any conductor in a khaki uniform for "Matara", and they will point you to the exact bay.

If you want AC, do not go to Pettah. Go to the Makumbura Multimodal Center in Kottawa instead.

Get on the bus at Pettah, do not try to catch it later down Galle Road, because it will be completely full and you will have to stand for 4 hours.
