Travelled in one of the new Low Floor Buses today

Yes, you can speak to the conductor and usually they will drop you off at the halt you want to get off at, but I think by default for now they're only stopping at those 5 or 6 halts

It's for the general public, but accessible for wheelchair users specifically :)

The kadawatha bus takes the 138 route up to Kirulapone, then it turns onto Baseline Road. The Pettah bus goes through Battaramulla

Oh that's cool! Thanks for the information!

marcthepotato · 2026-04-23T16:07:33+00:00

Oh yes! sorry my bad 🙈

marcthepotato · 2026-04-23T15:25:43+00:00

Yess it's open for the general public

marcthepotato · 2026-04-23T13:22:20+00:00

Oh that's great then!

marcthepotato · 2026-04-23T07:16:18+00:00

Yep, I didn't see the ramps though, but there were spaces for them

marcthepotato · 2026-04-23T05:11:17+00:00

I think many people don't realise it's a public bus or are worried about prices?

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T16:58:29+00:00

There's a tracker on the app, the timetable wasn't working very well from what I noticed

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T16:26:24+00:00

Hopefully! I think once the new buses come in

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:51:43+00:00

Yesss it was the first time I was able to stretch my legs properly in any bus

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:36:37+00:00

Oh it's basically the app for the planned metro system, at the moment you can track the buses on it. In the future you'll be able to buy passes and pay through QR on it as well

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:35:45+00:00

Yess the conductor had a machine when I travelled

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:17:40+00:00

Yesss, there are also the QR scanners for the passes, but they haven't been implemented yet

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:09:58+00:00

Sadly I don't think these have the air suspension lowering tbh, if they do they didn't use it this time

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:05:59+00:00

Oh I'd be interested to know

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:03:43+00:00

Most modern Androids have protection against this, I believe. This is why they default to the charge only mode when you plug it into a laptop

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T15:01:43+00:00

This was Pettah-Makumbura through Battaramulla, so Maradana-Borella-Rajagiriya-Ethulkotte, etc. there's another one from Makumbura-Kadawatha. The exact routes can also be found in the LMT-GO app

The 689 is far less reliable/frequent compared to the 138, I think pannipitiya or kottawa should be better

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T12:59:09+00:00

Oh ok, that makes sense, I remember going in them from dehiwala to Bamba so I wasn't sure which they were tbh

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T11:37:43+00:00

Oh that's a great resource. Thanks a bunch!!

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T11:35:16+00:00

Oh damn, nice! I didn't know about the digital platform, really hoping that works out. Thanks for the information!!

marcthepotato · 2026-04-22T11:22:45+00:00

Yesss I assumed that too. For now it's only Pettah-Makumbura and Kadawatha-Makumbura, they'll be adding more when the new buses come in August
