Rainy day blues at the Kottawa bus stand
View(s):Home for one of busiest bus routes in the Colombo district, the Kottawa bus stand has been badly neglected. The bus stand is full of muddy puddles which attract more pigeons flying in for a dip, than bus passengers.

There are plenty of buses operating between Pettah and Kottawa (the 138 bus route), and between Kottawa and Borella, Malabe, Maharagama, Aturugiriya, Homagama, Mt. Lavinia and Piliyanda.
Many regular passengers who get into buses at the bus stand complained about the inconveniences they face especially on rainy days. They have to endure muddy water splashing on their clothes and shoes, and some people have even tripped and fallen down in the mud.
