Yes this is a well known scam zone The drivers parked directly outside the bus stand operate as a mafia and refuse the meter Walk 100 meters down the road and flag a passing tuktuk with a red metered sign or just use PickMe

I used Uber and the driver had to meet me a block away because the Pettah tuktuk drivers harass the rideshare drivers
