Operators
Sri Lanka Railways operates nearly all rail services in Sri Lanka. A state-owned enterprise, Sri Lanka Railways operates both intercity services and commuter rail. It also operates freight transport.
Private operators provide a few services, using Sri Lanka Railways' equipment and infrastructure. The Viceroy Special, a heritage train run using a preserved steam locomotive, is operated by J.F. Tours & Travels. Airport & Aviation Services Limited operates the Airport Express, between Colombo Secretariat Station and Bandaranaike International Airport.
On 6 October 2011, Expolanka launched premium services on Sri Lankan trains, under the brand ExpoRail. Within the same day, Blue Line Company launched a competing service, the Rajadhani Express. ExpoRail and Rajadhani do not yet operate their own trains, but run a premium section on trains operated by Sri Lanka Railways.
The tram system in Colombo was operated by the Colombo Electric Tram Car and Lighting Company Ltd, before being taken over by the Municipal Council and shut down.
