INTRODUCTION
In Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (hereinafter referred to as “Sri Lanka”), over
90% of people and cargo transport depends on road networks. Around 42% of GDP and 29%
of the population are concentrated in the capital Colombo, especially in the Western province
which has achieved solid economic growth since the end of civil war. The number of traffic
modes utilizing road networks such as automobiles, buses and motorcycles has been rapidly
increasing. It is said that about 1 million people are flowing into the center of Colombo every
day, resulting in severe traffic congestion in Colombo and city surroundings. During morning
and evening time, travel speed is observed less than 20 km/h which is defined as traffic
congestion. In fact, there are roads with less than 10 km/h travel speed which infers that
current urban transport network is reaching its limits. Such decline in traffic mobility will
adversely affect the economic activity of the Colombo metropolitan area and it would create
negative impact on the national economy.
Based on current saturated traffic condition at major roads in Colombo city, and from the
viewpoint of efficient public transport mode compared with the private vehicles, introduction
of a public transportation system is urgently necessary. The Colombo Urban Transport Survey
Project (hereinafter referred to as “CoMTrans”) conducted by Japan International Cooperation
Agency (hereinafter referred to as “JICA”) from 2012 to 2014 found that out of seven major
corridors heading towards the center of Colombo, Malambe Corridor is observed to have the
most serious condition with the largest number of private cars and the lowest travel speed at
peak hours. Therefore, a new public transport system namely SKYTRAIN along Malambe
corridor was proposed and a study was carried out.
