Until a few years ago, the only ways to get around Colombo were really cheap buses or three wheelers that made an art form of ripping people off.
By 2013, most of the autos started using electronic meters and now the only obstacle was knowing the fastest way to get somewhere, as Colombo is circular and not linear like Bombay.
Now, thanks to Uber and an impending flood of radio taxis and other aggregators, it is easy to get around Colombo. In addition to this, plans are on for a modern mass rapid transport system. If this becomes a reality, the Sri Lankan capital moves one step closer to becoming world class.
