Tuk tuk drivers in Kandy refusing to use the PickMe app

Kandy has a very strong informal tuk-tuk union that fiercely opposes rideshare apps because the apps enforce fair, metered pricing. Drivers parked at prime tourist spots (like the lake or Temple of the Tooth) rely on heavily inflated, negotiated fares. They will purposely ignore app requests. Walk 5-10 minutes away from the main tourist hubs, and local drivers will gladly accept your PickMe request.
