When it comes to transport in Colombo, the two most popular choices are Uber and PickMe. Both have their own advantages, making them the best options for passengers.
PickMe: This is the best choice for daily commuters. It’s cheaper (Rs. 45/km) and readily available, even during traffic hours. Plus, you can make mini stops, which is not always possible with Uber.
Uber: Known for its timeliness, reliability, and security, Uber is great for long-distance rides. It’s more accurate, often on time, but costs slightly more than PickMe (Rs. 58.50/km).
Metered Tuktuk vs. Uber/PickMe
A standard metered tuktuk costs Rs. 100 per km, whereas Uber and PickMe offer more affordable rates.
Rush Hour & Rainy Days
Both services increase their prices during rush hours and rainy days, making it hard to find an affordable ride.
Choose Your Ride
With Uber and PickMe, you can book a motorbike, tuktuk, car, or even a van based on your needs.
Payment Methods
Both cash and card payments are accepted. However, most drivers prefer cash payments over card transactions.
GPS & Route Tracking
One major advantage of Uber and PickMe is real-time tracking via Google Maps. This ensures you’re on the correct route. In contrast, regular tuktuk drivers may take longer routes, leading to higher fares.
Rate Your Driver
Leaving a driver rating helps improve service quality for everyone. It also ensures a better experience for your next ride.
PickMe – 5:30 AM – 1:00 AM
Uber – 24 Hours
Kangaroo Cabs – Best for Luxury
What’s your choice? PickMe or Uber?
