INTRODUCTION

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. It is one of the most
essential services, vital force for determining the direction of development. 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 Bus Terminal.

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. Terminals are one of the main
components of any mode of transportation.

AS URBAN NODES

Bus terminals are predominantly used for inter-city and

intra-city movement because of the higher accessibility of
bus terminals.

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 3
In general, the four basic planning criteria for planning of
terminals are – 3.Location
1.Need The selection of the location should satisfy the following
NEED of the terminal arises with increase in the criteria-
demand. An organized bus terminal should meet the •It should form a component in the hierarchy of transport
following requirements- systems
•Accessibility •It should be a component in the hierarchical system of
•Comfort and convenience transportation terminals
•Safety •The concentration and dispersal costs should be minimum
•Easy processing •It should be located such that as point of coordination and
integration between inter-city and intra-city transport
2.Size
The following factors are considered to characterize 4.Design
the size of the terminal and its functions- Following points should be kept in mind for efficient workability
•Flow of traffic of terminal-
•System characteristics 1.Segregation of bus and non-bus traffic
•User characteristics 2.Segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement
3.Elimination of vehicular traffic conflict
4.Segregation of pedestrian flows
5.Minimum processing for the buses 5

6.Segregation of transportation and no-transportation activities

THE BUS TERMINAL WAS DEVELOPED TO SERVE AS THE PRIMARY TRANSPORT NODE FOR
CHANDIGARH CITY,
SECOND ISBT SEC 43 TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND 1500 FLEET OF BUSES COMING FROM OUT STATION
