The Makumbura Multimodal Center MMC is located in Kottawa, which is about 20 kilometers away from the central Colombo Fort area. It is a highly modern transport hub situated right at the entrance to the Southern Expressway. The easiest and fastest way to get there from the city center is by taking an Uber or a PickMe taxi, which usually takes about 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
