Kegalle, your Uber ride is here!

Uber, Sri Lanka’s most loved mobility app, today announced the expansion of its mobility offerings in Kegalle, bringing convenient, reliable, and affordable transportation to residents and visitors in the city.

With this launch, commuters in Kegalle can now book rides across cars, Tuks, and motorbikes in minutes through the Uber app, making everyday travel - whether it’s getting to work, running errands, or visiting loved ones - simpler and more seamless.

Strategically located along the Colombo–Kandy corridor and home to popular attractions like the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Kegalle sees steady movement of both locals and tourists. With Uber now available, getting around the city and to nearby towns becomes more convenient, with upfront pricing and access to app-based rides at the tap of a button.

The launch also creates flexible earning opportunities for local drivers, enabling them to connect with a broader rider base on the platform.

Kaushalya Gunaratne, Country Manager – Mobility, Uber Sri Lanka, said: “Kegalle plays an important role in connecting major routes across Sri Lanka, and mobility here needs to be reliable and accessible. With Uber now available, we’re bringing a consistent, technology-led experience to everyday travel while creating new earning opportunities for local drivers. This is part of our continued focus on expanding to more cities and making app-based mobility available to more communities.”

Every trip on Uber is supported by built-in safety features such as real-time GPS tracking, trip sharing, driver verification, a 24x7 safety line, and an in-app emergency button, helping provide greater peace of mind for both riders and drivers.

The launch in Kegalle is part of Uber’s continued expansion across Sri Lanka, as it brings its mobility platform to more cities and towns, making reliable, app-based travel accessible to more communities across the island.
