⚠️ Video does not show Korean tourist 'overcharged' at Sri Lankan railway station
"Wow! I've seen tourists being scammed by tuk-tuks but shame on our public transport system for doing this," one comment read.However, the posts are misleading.on YouTube on November 16, saying he later realised that he had not actually fallen victim to a scam.
He said he became suspicious when the ticket counter operator appeared to quote him a price of 240 rupees, but then"suddenly" changed the price to 500 rupees. However, the ticket operator was actually referring to the train's departure time when he said"2:40", and not the ticket price. The Sri Lanka Railways website shows that there is indeed a daily service departing from Fort railway station atYoon adds that there was further confusion as the ticket price written on the ticket -- 240 rupees -- did not reflect the genuine price, which had gone up following a hike in train fares.
"I thought he was lying," Yoon wrote in Korean."But I was since told that the country did not have any money, so they continue to use old tickets instead of printing new ones as they have run out of paper. I misunderstood."The price of a second-class ticket from Colombo Fort to Galle is listed as 500 rupees on Sri Lanka railways'
