@Thush@KalaniWrites@Uber_SL@PickMeLK Itโs all about Sri Lankan mindset. They ask cash because they can simply say no change and keep the balance. Main intention is scamming. ๐
@Kumi52976733@KalaniWrites@Uber_SL Basically they want to keep the rest. they purposely do this while they have change. What I did I went inside the shop for change since driver didnโt give 85 lkr. I took so long for this. Driver came and gave 80 and took the money and went. Because it is taking long. ๐

Either:
โข media should educate public on technicalities/interpretation, or,
โข communicate things in a simple way anyone would understand
