Traffic in Sri Lanka is chaotic by Western standards, drivers operate on their own logic and road rules are more like suggestions. Cars mean dealing with that chaos yourself, plus parking can be a nightmare in busy areas. Tuk-tuks and ride apps work fine for short distances but get expensive for full-day trips. Trains are scenic for certain routes but don't reach everywhere. Public buses are cheap but packed and run on unpredictable schedules.
