What is the best transport to use in Colombo?

For tourists, the optimal transport in Colombo is tuk-tuks (motor rickshaws), which can be ordered through the PickMe or Uber apps. A ride in the center costs from 250 LKR (1 US dollar), which is cheaper and more maneuverable than taxis. Metered taxis will cost from 400 LKR, but there are fewer cars.
Public transport (buses and trains) is very cheap (from 50 LKR), but inconvenient for beginners—routes are confusing, and there are no air conditioners. For trips to Mount Lavinia, suburban trains from Colombo Fort station are more comfortable and faster than buses. Walking tours in the Fort and Pettah areas are quite accessible, but be careful on the roads—drivers rarely yield to pedestrians.
