By the mid-1930s, malpractices in pursuit of maximum profit began to compromise safety and comfort.

Sri Lanka Transport Board

Image
The  Sri Lanka Transport Board  (formerly:  Ceylon Transport Board , CTB) is a  bus  service provider in  Sri Lanka . Between 1958 and 1978, the Ceylon Transport Board (CTB) was the  nationalised  enterprise which handled all public bus transport in Sri Lanka. At its peak, it was the largest omnibus company in the world — with about 7,000 buses and over 50,000 employees. With privatization in 1979, it underwent a period of decline. The present number of buses in the fleet is 4500. First broken up into several regional boards, then into several companies, it was finally reconstituted as the  Sri Lanka Transport Board  in 2005.
