dc.description Buses have been the main mode of transport in Sri Lanka. However, ‘a large number of residents try to avoid using bus transportation due to low speed, lack of comfortability and less punctuality… as examples, bus mode share in Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) boundary area reduce from 65% (in 1985) to 47% (in 2013)’ [1]. To overcome this situation, the Megapolis and Western Development Ministry has implemented Bus Priority Lanes (BPL) project in Colombo city and suburban areas with the objective of reducing traffic congestion and promoting public transportation. BPL was first introduced on 15th August 2017, from Kurusa Junction in Moratuwa to the Katubedda Junction on Galle Road. Many researchers have highlighted that it is important to identify perceptions and attitude concerning BPL from bus riders, bus drivers, car drivers and surrounding activities in the initial stage of the project [2]. Further, researchers argue that modelling and theoretical calculations can give different answers than actual observation, so actual observations are important to know about reality [3], [4]. In backdrop, this study aims to investigate the stakeholders’ perception of the newly introduced BPL in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
