Conceptual Design of an Integrated Transport Hub to Colombo Fort

Being the connecting point of five main rail lines in the country, Fort railway station is the main railway station of Sri Lanka situated in the heart of Colombo. At present, the station consists of 10 platforms and caters more than 0.2 million passengers daily. Close to the station lies the Bastian Mawatha Bus Passenger Terminal which is the hub of long distance buses that connect Colombo with all distant areas. The new conceptual design integrates both these transport modes ensuring maximum convenience for the passengers....
