ROKY Holdings launched a community infrastructure initiative in Mattegoda, Sri Lanka, focused on accessible and safe public transport. As part of its CSR program, the company identified the need for improved commuter facilities in underserved neighborhoods. Partnering with local authorities, ROKY designed and installed a modern, weather-resistant bus halt. The project aimed to enhance daily travel comfort while promoting dignity and safety for public transport users. This initiative reflects ROKY’s ongoing mission to deliver sustainable development and uplift quality of life across Sri Lanka.
Public transport remains the backbone of daily life for millions of Sri Lankans, especially in suburban communities like Mattegoda. However, support infrastructure for commuters—such as shelters, seating, and rest areas—is often inadequate or entirely absent. Before ROKY Holdings intervened, Mattegoda commuters waited for buses without any protection from harsh weather. Frequent rains, intense sun, and long wait times created discomfort for students, workers, the elderly, and other regular travelers. There was no seating available, and many stood for long periods along busy roads with minimal safety measures. This lack of infrastructure impacted more than convenience—it affected health, dignity, and access to reliable transport.
Recognizing this critical gap, ROKY Holdings initiated a solution built around accessibility, resilience, and practical design. The team designed and installed a commuter-friendly bus halt that addressed both comfort and public safety. By prioritizing human needs over flashy design, the project delivered meaningful, day-to-day impact in a short time. It improved travel conditions, reduced public exposure to weather, and created a more organized boarding experience. This simple yet essential infrastructure strengthened community morale and promoted equity in access to transport. Ultimately, the project reaffirmed ROKY’s belief that development begins with care, and that small changes shape better journeys.
Within weeks, ROKY completed the installation of a fully functional and visually appealing bus halt. The shelter now provides seating, protection from the weather, and a welcoming space for daily commuters. This initiative improved travel conditions, encouraged safer road use, and boosted morale in the Mattegoda area. The project also reinforced ROKY’s reputation as a company that delivers meaningful social change, not just infrastructure.By focusing on everyday needs, ROKY continues to turn small interventions into lasting impact.
