Quelles sont les classes et tarifs de Sri Lanka Bus Service ?
Le prix de votre voyage en bus dépendra à la fois de la destination et de la classe de votre billet. Sachez que les différentes classes de billets ne sont pas toutes disponibles sur certains itinéraires, mais pour les voyages plus longs, il y a presque toujours un large choix. Choisissez un bus de nuit pour un voyage de nocturne plus confortable et pratique. Les bus de nuit sont généralement équipés de couchettes ou de sièges inclinables confortables, disposent de toilettes à bord, et votre billet peut également inclure d'autres avantages comme des snacks, ou même un déjeuner. Choisir un bus de nuit permet également d’économiser le prix d’une nuit d'hôtel. Pendant la journée, le service express propose souvent le meilleur rapport qualité-prix, car il fait moins d'arrêts qu'un bus de classe ordinaire ou standard, et se déplace plus rapidement. Sur certains itinéraires, il peut être crucial de choisir la bonne classe car, par exemple, un bus ordinaire ou de deuxième classe peut avoir besoin d’environ 6 heures pour parcourir une distance qui serait parcourue en 2 heures par un bus de première classe ou express !
Avantages et inconvénients des voyages en bus
Avantages du voyage en bus
- Généralement les bus couvrent le plus grand réseau de destinations. Ils desservent des endroits où vous ne pouvez pas vous rendre en avion ou même en train.
- Voyager en bus est facile : il n'est pas nécessaire d'arriver au terminal de bus avec beaucoup d'avance, et l'enregistrement est généralement une formalité très rapide comparé au voyage en avion.
- Les billets de bus sont très abordables. Il est vrai qu’il existe des options coûteuses, en première classe ou VIP, mais si votre budget est limité, le bus est le moyen de transport le plus indiqué.
- Mais il existe aussi différentes classes de service pour répondre à tous les budgets. Si vous recherchez un niveau de confort plus élevé, les bus peuvent également vous convenir.
Inconvénients du voyage en bus
- Les terminaux de bus interurbains peuvent être situés en dehors du centre-ville, dans la périphérie. Cela signifie que vous devrez prévoir le temps nécessaire et le budget supplémentaire pour vous y rendre. Pour certaines destinations, se rendre à la gare routière peut vous coûter plus cher que prévu, car seul un nombre limité de compagnies de transport est autorisé à desservir la ligne - et les tarifs peuvent grimper.
- Lors des week-ends de grande affluence ou en haute saison, les bus desservant certaines destinations touristiques peuvent ne pas respecter les horaires indiqués et nécessiter une réservation préalable.
- Bien que les bus ne soient pas aussi dépendants de la météo que les ferries, les voyages en bus peuvent également être retardés ou annulés à cause du mauvais temps ou de l'état des routes. Gardez cela à l'esprit si vous voyagez pendant la haute saison ou vers certaines destinations.

Les personnes sont super gentille ! Le bus est très confortable, juste une chose vous ne devez pas être surpris par la localisation où on vous dira de prendre le bus car le texis qui m’y a emmené ne me croyait pas et disait que ce ne t’ai pas possible de prendre le bus la et qu’il fallait aller à la station de bus générale or non c’était le bon endroit.

Comfortable and straightforward
Though 12Go said we would be messaged our specific bus number and they didn’t. That’s quite stressful when you are waiting.

Le point de RDV etait très difficile à trouver, j'ai faillit rater le bus. Heureusement que la personne au téléphone m'a guidé. Le chauffeur roulait très vite, nous sommes arrivés à 4h00 du matin au lieude 9h00 dans une ville inconnue...

Extremely dangerous driving – absolutely unacceptable
This was, without a doubt, one of the most frightening bus journeys I have ever experienced. I have travelled through many countries, including places where road conditions and driving standards are far from ideal, but I have never felt so genuinely unsafe.
The driver's driving was reckless and, at times, bordering on criminally dangerous. He was constantly driving at excessive speed, including through villages and on roads in poor condition. Overtaking was continuous and extremely dangerous. At one point, on a two-lane road, there were four vehicles simultaneously trying to manoeuvre around each other because of overtaking.
The driver was also constantly using his mobile phone while driving and eating at the wheel. At one point, he was even driving wearing flip-flops, with one flip-flop resting on the clutch pedal while his foot was not actually on it. This was an astonishing level of carelessness.
He repeatedly overtook without adequate visibility, sometimes having to brake suddenly because there was oncoming traffic. On one occasion, the sudden braking was so harsh that passengers were thrown forward and hit their heads.
The driving was so reckless that at one point he almost managed to overtake a cow that was simply standing on the road, rather than slowing down and safely going around it. The constant and excessive use of the horn throughout the journey was also extremely unpleasant.
To make matters worse, this was sold as a “luxury” bus, but the vehicle itself was barely any different from the public buses commonly used in Sri Lanka. It was certainly not the bus that is advertised when purchasing the ticket.
The journey was also advertised as a direct service. However, the driver repeatedly picked up additional passengers along the way, including people who did not even have a seat, which made the journey even more uncomfortable and chaotic.
And as if all of this were not enough, when we finally reached our destination, the driver did not even stop at the designated bus stop. We had to shout at him before he realised that he was supposed to stop, and passengers were ultimately left standing in the middle of the road with their luggage.
This experience was genuinely frightening and completely unacceptable. A company selling a service as “luxury” should be able to guarantee, at the very least, basic road safety, responsible driving and the service that was actually advertised.
I have travelled extensively in several countries and have experienced many different forms of public transport.
I have never experienced anything remotely like this, nor have I ever felt so seriously at risk for my own safety during a journey.
Absolutely unacceptable and deeply disappointing.

Easy contact, eventually. WhatsApp photo of bus a great help.

Please include details such as the bus model, color, and license plate number. It was difficult to tell which one was which because so many buses were arriving.

Great bus, good experience. Driving is wild as everywhere in Sri Lanka. The information where the bus starts could be more precise. We got a GPS location - no gate or something like that. The god location was at gate 1. The bus stopped at gate 17. We only figured that out because we spotted him before he arrived at the bus station.

Very uncomfortable bus with the most cramped seats I have ever experienced. The bus was very full and my booked seat was occupied. It turns out anyone can board the bus and pay a significantly reduced amount in cash do don't bother booking here - there is zero upside

Time of bus was changed by one hour, and only received seat no the day before, so found this stressful not knowing if seat was booked.

Too many emails and steps just to buy a one way bus ticket. Process seemed convulated. Why not just send the bus ticket by email and trust tourists to find the bus. You could give that option to tourists who need it.

Bus Air-conditioned Large Coach, Sri Lanka Bus Service, 10 mars 2026
Comfortable bus, ran exactly to time. 12Go were very supportive when I was trying to find the bus stop at the start. Just be sure to catch the conductor's attention when you reach your final destination as they may not automatically stop.

On time. Very smooth and fast. Nothing to complain about. Just make sure to not drink or eat too much before the ride, it is non stop:-)

All went very well indeed. Just was a little unsure what the process was going to be on arrival at the bus station. Then your contact met with us and it became clearer that his role was to guide us to the correct bus and pay. The bus did not go to Mirissa as requested so we had to offload before Matara and get ourselves another bus for the final 20 mins of the journey. As mentioned, all went very well though.

Very pleasant bus trip between Anuradhapura and Colombo, quiet and comfortable air-conditioned bus, efficient driver and assistant.
Quick and friendly communication with customer service via WhatsApp, which was very helpful in finding out when the bus was arriving and where it was stopping.
I recommend it.

Good driver. Save and smooth driving style.
Good temperature on the bus, not too cold.
Fantastic handling by the staff and driver when I took the wrong bag upon arrival.
Top costumer service !
On the trip from Makumbura to Kandy the driver was going way too fast, honking the whole time, overtaking in critical spots.
This driver, from Kandy to Makumbura , was driving in a much saver way.

Bus Air-conditioned Large Coach, Sri Lanka Bus Service, 26 janv. 2026
The driver managed to arrive exactly 4 hours after departure. However this time frame is way too tight!
You should allow 30 minutes more for this trip.
The driver had to speed up and keep on overtaking other cars in a very scary way.

I booked on 12go a bus ride from Colombo to Jaffna, at nighttime. I booked this one specifically because it said I would arrive in Jaffna at 7am.
We arrived in Jaffna at 4am, I was alone and had to walk a long time in the dark, which was what I wanted to prevent.
Also, in the bus I had to keep my backpack with me. My seat was stuck in upright position whereas the person in front of me was lying so I had no space for my legs.

The organising of the trip was good and the coach was modern with good air con but the driver seemed to put his foot to the floor on either the accelerator or the brake. No in between. This made a very jerry trip and the horn was going the whole time.

You’re given a representative to meet and then a different person arrives. Turns out they’re trying to purchase a ticket for the lowest price possible despite you having already paid. Once sat down, it became obvious there weren’t enough seats so the driver’s assistant sat on the step- this developed into encroaching into our space and leaning against us and into us.
