Three lines for passenger transport earmarked by the ministry are Wellawatte-Battaramulla (IW1), Fort-Union Place (IW2), Mattakkuliya-Hanwella (IW3).

Fort-Union Place (IW2) will connect Fort and commercial areas in Union Place and will provide time savings during peak time.
Mattakkuliya-Hanwella (IW3) on the Kelani River will be an alternate mode for the low level corridor.
