Mission
Make intercity seats in Sri Lanka bookable online, with a refund rule you can read before you pay.
About CeyBus.lk
About CeyBus — Sri Lanka’s online bus booking platform.
CeyBus.lk is an online marketplace for Sri Lanka intercity bus seats.
You pay in LKR on a bank-hosted page and receive an e-ticket after the payment is confirmed. The seat is held so it cannot be sold twice. Cancel up to 6 hours before departure for a full refund when eligible.
How we got here
From phone queues to an assigned seat you can prove.
For years the default was a phone call to a depot, a paper slip, and no way to know if the seat was still free when you arrived. CeyBus started as a booking layer for those coaches: a seat held for your booking, a QR the conductor can scan offline, and a refund rule registered users can read before they pay.
Checkout is in LKR. You pick origin, destination, and date, compare the trips operators have opened for booking — including luxury overnight and regional A/C services — and lock a numbered seat. Card payments run on a bank-hosted page. CeyBus never stores the full card number.
Operators get settled payouts. Conductors get a manifest that matches the QR at the door.
We still do not claim to be SLTB or the National Transport Commission. CeyBus is the marketplace. The coach, the driver, and the boarding bay belong to the operator. Refunds and delays follow the rules published on CeyBus, not a government timetable. A map appears only after a location has been stored for that trip.
What we believe
Three things drive every release.
Story
Built by long-distance commuters tired of phone-call bookings and lost tickets. We partnered with private operators to bring the same standards to every route, not just the highway expresses.
Vision
A single platform where registered users, drivers, conductors, and operators all benefit — verified buses, transparent fares, settled payouts, and zero ghost seats.
About CeyBus — questions
What is CeyBus.lk?
CeyBus.lk is an online marketplace for Sri Lanka intercity bus seats. You compare operators, lock an assigned seat, and board with a QR ticket.
Who operates the buses?
Private coach companies and SLTB-linked services list inventory on CeyBus. CeyBus does not drive the buses; operators run the coaches and boarding stands.
How do refunds work?
Cancel up to 6 hours before departure for a 100% refund when eligible. Between 6 and 2 hours, contact support. No refund within 2 hours of departure or if you miss the bus. Card refunds return to the original card and timing depends on the bank.
Can I see where my bus is?
Open your booking. A map is shown only after a location has been stored for that trip. Until then, use the departure time on your ticket.
