DMT's Online Booking Is Back From Nov 2 — Will the Queues Actually Shrink?

From November 2, the Department of Motor Traffic brought back online appointment booking for its Narahenpita office, covering new registrations, ownership transfers and other counter services. For months before that, anyone needing these services had to turn up in person and stand in line for hours, so getting the booking system back should be welcome news. Supporters say it's a basic fix — reserve a slot, walk in, get seen, and it should cut out the agents and middlemen who made a living getting people to the front of the queue. Skeptics point out that past versions of these online systems have crashed under demand or been snapped up in minutes by brokers running scripts, leaving ordinary owners no better off than standing in line. There's also the bigger backlog of plates and licences sitting unprocessed behind the counter — a booking slot doesn't mean your paperwork actually clears any faster. Have you tried booking a Narahenpita appointment since it reopened? Did the site hold up, and were you seen on time, or does this feel like a new coat of paint on the same old queue?
