Yes, this is known as a "fast meter" or "turbo meter." Some rogue drivers tamper with the calibration so it registers distance much faster than reality. A normal fare in Colombo should start around 100-120 LKR and increase steadily. If you notice it surging rapidly, demand the driver stop, pay what is on the meter, and get out. Use PickMe to guarantee un-tampered pricing.

Good to know. We got out early but still paid way too much.

I had a ride that was 3km and the meter said 1800 rupees. I laughed and gave him 500.
