Introduction

With the increasing demands for more private transport, and the decreasing amounts of public
transport in our country, which has resulted in poor air quality and hence the probable solution to this is designing proper transport facilities.
Transportation is one of the most important requirements for the aid of communication from one place to other for visiting purpose or in the sense of tourism. A number of factors like the convenience from one place to the other, promotion of tourism, for communication between places etc. Have predicted the importance of planning such as roadways industries in the as sense of bus terminals.
Transportation system improves the social, economic, industrial and commercial progress and further transforms the society into an organized one. It is one of the essential services, vital force for determining the direction of development.

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. Terminals are one of the main components of any mode of transportation.
A bus terminal, or terminus, is the point where a bus route starts or ends, where vehicles stop, turn or reverse, and wait before departing on their return journeys. It’s also where passengers board and alight from vehicles. It also often provides a convenient point where services can be controlled from.
The size and nature of a terminal may vary, from a roadside bus stop with no facilities for passengers or bus crews, to a purpose built off-road bus station offering a wide range of facilities.
If the number of vehicles arriving and departing is low, a roadside bus stop, with no facilities, will normally be adequate. With a large number of vehicles arriving and departing, it may be necessary to provide off-road bus station facilities for the convenience of passengers and to reduce traffic congestion.
Bus stations and terminals are a significant element in the operation of bus services. Their design and location affect the efficiency of a transport system, and its impact on other road users. Some stations are regarded more as landmarks than as utilities, and as such are often of prestigious rather than practical design, which may detract seriously from their efficiency.

Aim

The aim is to achieve design excellence and to enhance the use of public transport facilities,
and to provide a commuter’s plaza to increase the footfall of the bus terminal.

Objective

1. To understand and establish the scope and future of Transport facilities.
2. To make people use more public transport rather using private transport.
3. To design a facility which facilitates both transport facilities and commercial development.
4. To design a building which will cater to the current and future requirement of building and make good transportation facilities.
5. To understand the sustainable aspect.
6. To create a structure that serves as an iconic landmark for the city.

Scope and limitation

The bus terminal is Interstate bus terminal which will have the capacity of 1000 buses per day. Providing a commuter’s plaza, which will increase the amount of people coming to the bus station. Providing the motel in premises which will provide the stay facility for people and will give commercial approach to the design.

Important concerns

Passive Design approach.
Barrier free Architecture.
Circulation.
