Transport in Sri Lanka is based on its road network, which is centred on the country's commercial capital Colombo. A rail network handles a portion of Sri Lanka 's transport needs. There are navigable waterways, harbours and three international airports: in Katunayake , 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Colombo, in Hambantota, and in Jaffna.
Passengers could use the Boat Mail service to travel between Colombo and Chennai. The ferry service to connect the railheads at Talaimannar and Dhanushkodi lasted until the 1960s, when a cyclone destroyed the pier and rail line at Dhanushkodi. The Mannar line was not affected. The ferry service resumed with a new Indian terminus at Rameshwaram. [5]
