BUS STATION
A bus station is a structure where city or intercity busses stop to pick up and drop off
passengers. While the term bus depot also refers to a bus station, it can also refer to a bus
garage. A bus station is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a place on the roadside,
where buses can stop. It may be intended as a terminal station for a number of routes, or as a
transfer station where the routes continue.
Bus station platforms may be assigned to fixed bus lines, or variable in combination with a
dynamic passenger information system. The latter requires fewer platforms, but does not supply
the passenger the comfort of knowing the platform well in advance and waiting there.
Functional Attributes
Terminal operations involve a complex juggling of functions to support bus and passenger
handling. These functions (discussed below) influence terminal infrastructure planning,
maintenance and design.
6. Finance
This relates to the broad financing strategy adopted for the terminal, and is classified into two
types:
Public ownership - On failing to attract private participation (in terms of part or
complete equity) due to locational attributes of site, political, bureaucratic limitations
etc., the terminal development project is entirely publically financed.
Public private Partnership (PPP) – When public funds fail to meet the urban sector’s
investment requirements, a terminal development project must rely on the public private
partnership method to raise additional finance as well as to improve delivery methods.
Private equity can be raised through various methods, most common being exchange of
land rights related to the terminal site. This exchange entails transferring a component of
the site—or floor area ratio (FAR) at the site—to the private partner, for real estate
development and allied functions such as parking.
8. Passenger amenities:
This relates to the facilities provided in the terminal, for passengers’ convenience, including:
Drinking Water
Toilets (Odorless & Waterless)
Concourse
Free Wi-Fi facility in waiting area
Eateries
