When considering these facts we can understand sri Lankan students are not happy with their transportation. Because they feel they don’t have enough comfortable, safety while they were arriving to school.so as a result lots of students facing accident while arriving. According to our survey we think safety, reliability ,service much more to improve when considering other countries.
