CPC launches mobile app to facilitate public transport

The Central Provincial Council on Tuesday (6) launched a new mobile application, Hari Gamana, aimed at facilitating public transport services in the Central Province.

The launch took place under the patronage of Central Province Governor Prof. Sarath Abayakoon, with the participation of senior provincial officials.

The application is intended to connect users with registered transport services, including three-wheelers, with the objective of improving accessibility and efficiency in local transport. Operations of the service are administered by the Hari Gamana Transport Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society, which is registered under the Central Provincial Council.

Addressing the event, Chairman of the Hari Gamana Cooperative Society A.S. Kumara said the service includes safety measures for passengers, competitive fare structures, insurance coverage for users during travel, and continuous 24-hour operation.

He stated that the initiative is designed to function as a state-supported transport service while providing an alternative to existing private ride-hailing platforms and supporting local transport operators.

A number of senior officials representing the Central Provincial Council were present at the launch ceremony.
