What are the dangers of tuk-tuks in Colombo for tourists?

The main risks are price deception and 'scams' for purchases. Drivers may agree to your price, but upon arrival demand more. Another common trick is offering tours for a low price (e.g., 2000 rupees for the whole day), but instead of attractions, they will take you to shops where expensive goods will be pushed on you. Always use apps for ordering or clearly agree on the price before the trip. Also, tuk-tuks are less safe due to the lack of air conditioning and exposure to exhaust fumes.
