The three-wheelers also increased from Rs. 4 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs, shattering all the dreams of the drivers. However in India, three-wheelers can be purchased at a price of Rs. 3 lakhs. But in Sri Lanka, you have to pay almost three times that amount. Three-wheeler drivers are often disappointed by this. The population of three-wheeler drivers in the public transport service were around 300,000 in 2014, but this has now been reduced to an amount of 150,000. Isn't the reason to this because of the sky high amounts imposed as taxes?
