According to a media statement, this mobile application, named the Tuk Tuk App, which was launched by the Tuk Tuk Network, “makes it easy to get any ride across cities in Sri Lanka with the largest network of registered taxis and three wheelers in the country”. It is downloadable via the Google Play Store for Android devices as well as the Apple App Store.

Tuk Tuk App offers you on-demand service, which means no reservations required, and no waiting in taxi lines.The app offers you the benefit of comparing rates for different drivers. No credit cards are involved and therefore no risk in using the app and all transactions are handled manually between the driver and the passenger. All you need to do is log in to the Tuk Tuk App and easily set your pick-up location on the map, even if you don’t know the exact address.
The app allows you to get connected to your personal driver and check the progress of your tuk tuk ride any time”.The statement also signalled that the “moment you describe your location most of tuk tuks and cab companies will refuse to come, if the distance you need to travel is less than five kilometres. Well they would say ‘sorry, there is no driver close by to your location’. Besides some tuk tuk drivers have set up their meters in a way such that you will be charged exorbitantly per kilometre. But now you find the convenience of finding any tuk tuk driver or any cab company even individual transportation service providers with the latest app that allows you to send a SMS to get a ride, as fast as possible”.
