Overview
The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) is the state-owned bus operator, a successor to the historic Ceylon Transport Board (CTB), providing essential public transport across Sri Lanka, including rural (Gemi Seriya) and night (Nisi Seriya) services, focusing on connecting communities, supporting education (Sisu Seriya), and serving as a key government institution for daily travel, often operating at a social obligation loss for early/late routes. Established under legislation, it aims to ensure accessible, reliable, and affordable transport for all citizens, despite privatization challenges in the late 20th century that led to its restructuring.
