    An organized bus terminal serves several important functions: as a point of concentration, dispersion, loading/unloading of passengers, interchange of transportation modes, storage of passengers and vehicles, and maintenance. It should provide accessibility, comfort, safety, and easy processing. The key areas of a bus terminal include passenger areas, areas for terminal staff, and areas for bus staff. Different types of vehicular movement and bay arrangements are considered in terminal design. The main goal is efficient traffic flow with segregation of bus and pedestrian traffic.

    Transportation is an integral part of the functioning of the society.

    The transport system improves the


    social, economic, industrial, commercial progress and transfers the society into an organized one. To
    achieve the desired transportation balance and the system to be efficient, it is essential to provide
    organized facilities in the system, one such facility is a BusTerminal. As transportation involves the
    movement of the people and goods, there is a need of an “access point” in transport system to use
    it.These access points are known as “Terminals” or the fixed facilities

    ISBT stands for Inter-State Bus Terminal. It is one of the types of Bus Terminals which incorporates the
    vehicular movement of inter-state as well as local buses.

    Terminals serve as a point of –

    •Concentration

    •Dispersion

    •Loading/unloading of the passengers

    •Interchange of mode

    •Storage of passengers and vehicles

    •Maintenance of vehicles

    •Facilities and amenities for the users and crew

    •Documentation of movement

    •Information system

    •Integration of various systems of transportation

    .An organized bus terminal should meet the following requirements-

    •Accessibility

    •Comfort and convenience

    •Safety

    •Easy processing

    Accommodation/DORMATORY

    4.Design Following points should be kept in mind for efficient workability of terminal-

    1.Segregation of bus and non-bus traffic

    2.Segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement

    3.Elimination of vehicular traffic conflict


    4.Segregation of pedestrian flows

    5.Minimum processing for the buses

    6.Segregation of transportation and no-transportation activities

    The main characteristic of bus terminals is their conver-gence function, because they serve as important
    nodes of transfer between different modes. These nodes are the focus of passenger activity, which is a
    potential in-gredient for a vibrant city space. Needless to say, high level of passenger activity attracts
    business and retail functions, which generates secondary footfall and pro-pels a mere terminal site into
    an attractive urban des-tination.

    2 For details of bay arrangements Refer to the Interim Report – Section 2.4.2.1
    Common bays – As per this allocation type, buses park at a common bay, and load, unload and rest in
    idle state all at the same location. Common bays allow only for fixed route bay allocation for buses, and
    are planned mostly for local bus ter-minals with short layover time.
    Segregated Bays – As per this allocation type, bays are segregated by activity, i.e. as loading bays, idle
    bays, and unloading bays. Buses move between these three lo-cations/bay types sequentially. Such bay
    planning helps save space and works best with longer layover time; it is thus ob-served mainly at
    interstate bus terminals. Segregated bays can be planned for both fixed route and dynamic bay
    allocation.
    2. Bus boarding bay arrangement3: This relates to types of boarding bay arrangements, and is

    influenced by the bus demand, circulation pat-tern, curb length limitations, and space availa-bility in the
    terminal. There are five types:

    • Saw tooth bays: This arrangement works well with one-way driveway (along the bays), and allows
    easy pulling in and pull-ing out of buses, without the need to re-verse. Additionally, it ensures reduced
    gap between bus and platform while docking.
    • Linear/parallel bays: A long linear plat-form serves multiple buses. Linear bays usually include an
    overtaking lane which acts as a driveway. They work with one-way driveway, occupy long curb length
    per bus, but require minimal driveway width. Linear bays find it difficult to allow drivers to reduce gaps
    between bus and platform while docking.

    Layover time is the time a bus spends inside the terminal, from entry to exit. Higher the layover time,
    higher the accumulation of buses inside the terminal, and higher the ca-pacity requirement to
    accommodate them. Layover time is usually pre-defined by bus op-erators based on their operational
    and service requirements. However, planned and actual layover time have been observed to vary sig-
    nificantly. Therefore, it is important to capture both planned and observed layover time, be-fore
    initiating the planning process. The latter is usually estimated at off peak time when the layover time is
    expected to be longer.
