ABSTRACT
India’s economic development and prosperity calls for increasing mobility of people to access
various activities and goods. A major share of the mobility surge is being catered to by road
based transport, of which a substantial component is met by buses. It is estimated that there are
close to seven lakh buses operating in the country.
Improved bus services and developing state of-the-art supporting infrastructures such as Bus
Terminals can attract users and increase ridership. Terminals or “the fixed facilities” are
predominantly used by very high volume of pedestrians for inter-city and intra-city movements.
This demands that the facilities at a bus terminal be planned systematically and that user
requirements be addressed in such planning
Bus terminals, are the hub of activities, of passenger and operators, and are spaces where bus
operators, STU and passenger requirements converge. Buses in India operate from nearly 3,000
terminals. Bus passenger terminals handle large volumes of passenger transfers on a daily basis.
It can be said that passenger level of service at these locations goes a long way in ensuring
attractiveness and increased patronage of bus transport. There exists no specific planning or
design guideline on this subject.
Beginning with the survey of several bus stations spread across Gujarat and planning of various
components of the bus station in a mathematical order to the final design of all the major
structural elements conceived in the plan; this report could be termed as an in-depth presentation
on the planning and design of a modern bus station. Selecting the most efficient sections for
design keeping in mind the structural integrity, stability, durability and optimum cost, the project
eventually estimates the approximate quantities of materials required for the construction of the
bus station.
An attempt has been made through this project report to bring all critical designs under one
umbrella with the use of relevant BIS codes, standards and reports, right from the roof till the
foundations.

India’s economic development and prosperity calls for increasing mobility of people to access
various activities and goods. A major share of the mobility surge is being catered to by road
based transport, of which a substantial component is met by buses. It is estimated that there are
close to seven lakh buses operating in the country. Of these, approximately 150000 are operated
by the public sector through more than sixty State Transport Undertakings (STU) and Transport
Corporations. It is estimated that these buses carry more than 70 million passenger trips every
day, which is nearly three times the passengers carried by Indian railways. Public sector buses
alone are estimated to undertake 12.1 billion kilometers every year.
While buses form the structural core of the road transport, in the past few years, there has not
been visible growth in their modal share in the total trips made, owing to the lack of adequate
bus fleets and their supporting infrastructure like terminals and depots. Bus terminals, are the hub
of activities, of passenger and operators, and are spaces where bus operators, STU and passenger
requirements converge. Buses in India operate from nearly 3,000 terminals. There is a strong
need to upgrade the infrastructure and facilities of these spaces into hubs which meet the
requirements of both customers and bus operators.
Bus passenger terminals handle large volumes of passenger transfers on a daily basis. It can be
said that passenger level of service at these locations goes a long way in ensuring attractiveness
and increased patronage of bus transport. However, most bus terminals currently offer sub-
optimal services to both bus passengers and bus operators. Most STUs(State transport units)
struggle with constrained finances and therefore were unable to invest in the upgradation and
regular upkeep of these facilities.
Though upgradation and development of bus terminals is high on the agenda of the STUs, there
is a general capacity void which needs to be addressed. There exists no specific planning or
design guideline on this subject.
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.

GEOMETRIC CONSIDERATIONS 2
Bus terminal designing involves consideration of all factors necessary for execution of the
project at site. This includes the following:
1. Arranging all infrastructure and planning elements with a detailed dimensional understanding,
to ensure functional effectiveness of the facility.
2. Aesthetic and visual considerations for improved spatial experience and comfort for users
3. Installing modern techniques like Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and planning services
that ensure not only user comfort and smooth functioning of the terminal but also user safety and
security
4. Applying an understanding of construction processes, finishes and specifications, to ensure
that the plans are implementable
5. Applying standards and norms to ensure that the built infrastructure not only functions
efficiently but complies with all statutory requirements
This sections provides information on the following different design aspects:
• Geometric design standards

staff (1), and 46 sqm record room with store room (2) and 86.6 sqm toilets (3). Commercial
space in option one totals 591 sqm and in options two, totals 265 sqm including toilets, lift and
staircase. Additional Commercial real estate of 877 sqm and 577 sqm may be added for option
one and two (as two additional floors) respectively, if additional parking space for private
vehicles is available in close proximity. The current site can only accommodate 23 ECS.
Bus: Fixed route bus operations for 60 buses per hour, with an average layover time of 10 mins
are desired at this terminal. As per guidelines, this requires a total of 12 bus bays. For such
operations, the recommended arrangement for small local terminal is drive though bay
arrangement at 90 degrees. Raised pedestrian crossing connect all 12 bus bays in a series. This
arrangement is proposed for both options.
In the open boundary (option one) approach, buses enter from the adjoining distributary road and
turn 90 degrees into the bays (Figure 30). This allows open passenger circulation from all sides,
and easy circulation for buses into their bays. Buses enter the bays, crossing a textured 2.0 m
wide pedestrian walkway which levels with the road surface on the distributary road. This option
is more space efficient.
In the gated approach (option two), buses enter from the site's left edge, and follow the same
pattern (as option one) to enter into their respective bays (Figure 31). This requires more bus
parking area, and narrows down the strip of land for real estate development.
Private vehicles and Feeder Modes: The required private vehicle and two wheeler parking for
option one is 441 sq. m. and for option two, 286 sq. m., which accommodates 19 ECS and 12
ECS respectively. Circulation for, both private vehicles and feeder modes is presented in (Figure
32). Entrance and exit for private vehicle parking is from the same point. For feeder modes, three
wheeled scooter rickshaw (TSR) parking bay is designed on the arterial road near the pedestrian
plaza; it serves as drop off and pick up point for passengers.
Pedestrians: The three main users of a bus terminal are passengers, terminal staff, and bus staff.
For the terminal under discussion, the passenger flow per hour is calculated to be 360
14
commuters, and passenger accumulation is expected to be 30 passengers (33 including visitors)
during peak hour. Footfall being this low, the terminal is designed for basic amenities. These
include toilet blocks, drinking water stations, and waiting plat-forms. In addition, 40 sq. m. of
landscaped pedestrian plaza—with informal vending spaces—is proposed. Pedestrian circulation
is presented in Figure 33.)
The raised cross walk ensures that the commuter area is clearly defined, and legible from buses
and parking bays. It is at level with the external pavement; this is to avoid steps or ramps, and
ensure barrier-free movement. Bollards visually segregate the passenger circulation area from the
bus area, providing adequate visibility and safety for passengers.
15
Bus circulation
The 2.3 acre Uttam Nagar terminal site (Figure 52) is located on Najafgarh Road adjacent to
Uttam Nagar East metro station, in Delhi. This local/intra city inter-modal bus terminal is
managed by Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC). It is centrally located and abuts mixed land; the
metro occupies 0.3 of the site’s 2.3 acres. 1520 buses, on 33 routes, pass the terminal daily.
The bus terminal components (Figure 53) include 16 fixed route bus bays on 30 m long 3 m wide
platforms; existing vehicular parking, bus terminal office, the Uttam Nagar metro station, one
toilet block, informal parking of feeder modes (such as cycle rickshaw, Gramin Seva, and auto
rickshaw).
Uttam Nagar terminal is served by two public bus operators: DTC and DIMTS (cluster buses).
Commuters can access the site from three entrances, including one from the private vehicle
parking. Feeder mode parking is located outside the site, in the service lane, along the main road
(Figure 53). This terminal currently includes a toilet for drivers and passengers, maintained and
operated by Sulabh International, and operated as pay-per-use.
16
This terminal’s primary concern has to do with the high number of bus stacking i.e. 52, which is
almost 4 times the number of bays provided for them. The terminal is overcrowded by buses not
due to increased demand, but high layover time (averaging 37.5 mins), close to four times the
intended/planned time.
To solve the issue, two options for the terminal’s upgradation are proposed: static bus bay
terminal sys-tem and dynamic bus bay terminal system.
The terminal area shall not include a boundary wall on the edge of Najafgarh Road. It is
proposed to be segregated from the service lane through a 5 m wide barrier-free pedestrian path
(developed within the terminal site), which will link the metro station entrance and the current
metro parking. It will also connect (branching perpendicular to this path) to the bus bay access
path.
17
Proposal 2: Dynamic bus bay Terminal
If the planning must suit a layover time of 37.5 mins, dynamic bus bay allocation is proposed. A
4060 sq. m. bus parking area with 52 idle parking bays, is planned on the site’s southern half
(adjacent to the metro entrance block). The northern half shall be divided into front and back
portions. The back shall include a small workshop with four bus parking bays (buses requiring
re-pair), and space for providing staff parking for six bicycles and six two wheelers. The front
shall include a single floor building complex, which will house administrative offices including
terminal office with pass section (131 sq. m.), toilets for bus and terminal staff (48 sq. m.), rest
room and canteen/pantry for bus staff (162 sq. m.), public toilets (51.3 sq. m.), ATM (16.9 sq.
m.), and police booth (16.9 sq. m.). In this option, 115 staff members (including bus staff) are
expected to be accommodated in the terminal at any point (Figure 57).
The terminal area shall not include a boundary wall facing the Najafgarh Road. It is proposed to
be segregated from the service road by an internal (one way) bus access road, for exiting buses.
The area between the access road and the proposed single storied office building (14.7 m wide
and 643 sq. m. in area) is proposed to be developed as a passenger boarding court. The existing
administrative office block is proposed to be dismantled, for a barrier free 7 m wide pedestrian
walkway connecting the three boarding platforms (dynamic passenger loading bays) with the
metro entrance. The bus entrance leads directly to the bus parking; entering buses shall offload
passengers at curb side off-loading bays before parking (in idle parking bays). Then, the bus staff
proceeds to the rest rooms/canteen in the administrative office complex, accessible directly from
the parking.
Above the north half of the site, a commercial estate up to two and a half floors may be
developed, generating about 4000 sq. m. of prime real estate.

SMART FEATURES
A smart bus station can be envisioned as a nodal point serving all the functions of a
conventional bus station/depot obtaining its energy demands from sustainable sources and
causing the least possible strain in the environment it operates in.
Congestion has been named the number one frustration with the roadway network all around
the world. Effectively addressing the congestion issue means not only adding new lanes
(capacity) to the roadway system, it also means finding ways to make the existing roads work
better. Combining communications strategies and technology to accomplish this is known as
Intelligent Transport Systems, or ITS.
This preliminary report also looks at comprehensive transportation improvements with
emphasis on public transport and technologies.
To fight and mitigate congestion, transportation professionals in India are working towards
increasing the productivity of existing transportation systems through the use of advanced
technologies. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) encompass a broad range of wireless
and wire line communications-based information and electronics technologies. When
integrated into the transportation system's infrastructure, and in vehicles themselves, these
technologies relieve congestion, improve safety and enhance productivity.
The rapid industrial and commercial development coupled with the rise in population in the
recent past has contributed to a large scale increase in traffic on the city roads. This
increasing intensity of traffic has resulted in the manifestation of a number of problems like
23
congestion, delay, accidents, pollution etc. which pose a potential threat to the economic vitality
and productive efficiency of a city.
From Environmental, economic and social impacts perspective, transit (buses) always provides
the best alternative among the various road infrastructure development alternatives.
Current day demand for mobility is increasingly confronting economic, social, and physical
constraints on transportation infrastructure. These constraints include funding limitations for
transportation projects, social and environmental impacts of infrastructure expansion, limited
physical space to devote to such projects. Rapid advances in information processing and
communications technology have created new opportunities for transportation professionals to
deliver safer and more efficient transportation services, and to respond proactively to increasing
demand for transportation services in many areas and mounting road user expectations.
Promotion of mass transit and implementation of traffic, event and incident management tools
are emerging as solutions. One of the most effective roadway improvement solutions is the
improvement of public transit service so that more travelers will utilize transit freeing up space
on the streets, diminishing dependence on fossil fuels, and improving air quality.
ITS can be utilized to improve the safety, efficiency, dependability and cost effectiveness of the
city's transportation system.
ITS elements consist of Arterial Management, Fleet Management, Electronic Payment & Pricing,
Traveler Information, Incident Management, and Emergency Management.
24
•Increased ridership and mode change: The above benefits would lead to a perception that transit
is responsive to public needs and that transit is an attractive alternative to SOV travel. This
would reduce congestion as well as have a beneficial impact on environmental pollution.
A bus terminal’s function is to manage commuters and buses in a synchronized and organized
manner, ensuring comfort, safety, and security of the terminal users (commuters, staff and
operators). Terminals often fail at this, owing to lack of controlled information sharing, which
causes anxiety and inconvenience among users. In India, terminals are plagued with problems
like increased waiting time, uncertainty in bus arrival, and stacking of buses in the terminals. Bus
schedule is often disturbed due to unpredictable factors like traffic conditions, weather situation,
traffic jams, breakdowns etc. (Bangare et al. 2013). This leads to unreasonably long waiting time
at the terminal, which compromises level of service to passengers, ultimately reducing the
attractiveness of the facility.
Commuters at bus terminals need precise information regarding bus arrival and departure time.
Terminals usually have fixed (official) bus timetables on websites or in print. But such
timetables are usually static, offer limited information (operating hours, time intervals etc.), and
are not updated regularly based on recent planned changes in schedule or day-to-day real-time
traffic conditions. Apart from official timetables, public services like Google Maps provide bus
related information to travelers (Bangare et al. 2013). Such services, though useful, fail to bridge
the information gap. Additionally, commercial bus information providers offer real-time bus
arrival information but charge substantially. Total capital cost for deployment of link infra-
structure to deliver transit services is very high. If transferred to end users, it would lead to an
increase in mobility expenditure for passengers.
ITS is a tested way to mitigate the above problems. Communication networks, digital mapping,
video monitoring, sensors, real-time passenger information, and variable message signs are
forging new trends in the public transport infrastructure field (Vanajakshi, Rama-durai & Anand
2010). Together they form ITS, which is increasingly being recognized the world over. Its main
objective is to evaluate, analyses, and integrate new technologies (and concepts) to achieve
efficiency, im-prove environmental quality, save energy, conserve time, and enhance safety and
25
comfort (for commuters, drivers and operators). ITS synergizes data acquisition, evaluation,
analysis, and information dissemination, which helps develop an all-encompassing organization
system for information sharing among operators and commuters. Thus, ITS can be understood as
the use of modern technologies for improving transportation systems. Bus terminals are an
essential part of the public transportation system and ITS plays a key role in delivering a
‘quality’ bus terminal facility. ITS implementation, specifically with real-time information
system, ensures synchronized information distribution between commuters and operators. Recent
modern bus terminals are embedded with ITS and real-time information system.
An interface between commuters and buses, the ITS architecture of bus terminals comprises two
components - passenger information system (PIS) and bus information system (BIS). The
architecture for these is presented in below Figure and the components briefly described in
subsequent sub sections.

arrival and departure time, as well as information about the nature and causes of disruptions. PIS
serves as a communication link between terminal operators and commuters (Trapeze 2015). With
the help of passenger information technology, terminal authorities can communicate with
passengers to pro-vide them real-time bus location and status updates, schedule data, and timely
announcements.
Bus Information system (BIS): It provides information required by bus staff i.e. drivers and
conductors. It includes bus parking information, schedule of bus entry and exit in the terminal,
route information, and trip in-formation. BIS enables a bus driver to precisely allocate
dispatching time (for the next trip) from the terminal, and get information on the bus bay
allocated to her/him for boarding passengers (especially important in dynamic bay allocation
type of bus terminal operations).
Both PIS and BIS are largely based on the type of bus operations at a terminal complex (dynamic
or fixed route bay). They help in solving operating problems, and in adopting appropriate new
technologies to intro-duce innovations into terminal infrastructure. They en-sure real-time arrival
information for users, saving their time and improving the terminal’s performance, along with
helping improve overall system efficiency and in-crease service frequency.
Apart from the real-time information system, information can also be dispersed as static or
planned information. Static or planned information changes slowly and is typically used for
journey planning prior to departure This type of information includes stations and stops, routes,
service numbers, timings, trip durations, fares etc.
Static information is made available traditionally in printed form though route network maps,
timetable booklets, name signs and/or pictograms at stations and stops etc. This information is
also available through dedicated national and local telephone services. In many areas, static
information is now being made available electronically through websites or over mo-bile phone
services (typically via SMS). Information is also being increasingly provided in audio format,
both on bus and within terminals. Public address systems, usually but not always automated, will
typically give next service announcements at terminals and next stop announcement on-board
buses (Passenger Information System 2015).
27
Benefits of ITS implementation in Bus Terminals
The goal of bus terminals is to provide efficient, reliable service to their users. For this,
information about every facility provided in terminals must be effectively dis-tributed to the
public. Implementation of ITS in the terminals has the following benefits:
• Reduced perceived wait time: The negative impact of terminal delays is minimized, leading
to in-creased ridership numbers and the perception of better customer service. ITS is a boon for
commuters who often suffer boredom/ anxiety not knowing when the bus will arrive.
• Increased terminal efficiency: Increased waiting time and uncertainty in bus arrival render the
public transport system unattractive for passengers. Use of a variety of ITS technologies can
track locations of buses in real time and predict when they will reach terminals along the route.
This information when shared with passengers through PIS, will allow them to use their time
efficiently and reach the terminal just before the bus arrives, or take alternate means of transport
if the bus is delayed. Needless to say, use of ITS allows more efficient use of terminal space,
with lesser crowding (of both passengers and vehicles).
• Increased attractiveness: Accurate and real-time travel information at bus terminals (and
inter-changes) make public transport an attractive and high-quality alternative to travelling by
other modes. The ac-curate arrival time of the next bus will allow commuters to take alternative
transport choices, and thus mitigate their anxiety and improve their experience.
• Alerts and alarms: Passengers and other terminal users can be alerted if the expected traffic is
interrupted for a defined or undefined period of time, and also in case of any problems in
terminal operations. ITS helps in warning commuters about emergencies such as strikes, terror
threat, fire etc. This is an efficient way of aligning commuters’ expectations with the service that
the terminal system provides.
Information type
As terminal facilities continue to evolve, ITS is rapidly becoming a mainstay in today’s public
transport do-main (Trapeze 2015). Integrated systems that keep passengers informed at the ends
of, and along their journey, are increasingly in demand. Terminals must find a way to address
this need as it vastly improves the transit experience for commuters and streamlines operations
28
for terminal employees. The information provided to terminal users by ITS integration depends
on the location (Passenger Information System 2015) where the information is needed to be
disseminated. The information distribution framework can be broadly divided into two contexts -
off board information and on board information.
Off board information: Off board information is provided to passengers at the terminal. Usual
up to date predictions provided include (Passenger Information System 2015):
∑ Which route is operated by the next bus to arrive, including its expected departure time
and destination.
∑ When the bus will arrive
∑ How closely is it running to its schedule
∑ Similar information for the subsequent few services
∑ General advice (on current travel disruptions) that may be useful to the passenger in
under-standing the implications for their travel plans
29
∑ Interactive information displays.
∑ Payment and smart card payment kiosks.
∑ Audible signage.
In recent years, new electronic technology has been developed to provide improved traveler
information. Information may be delivered via any electronic media, including:
30
2. Considering language diversity in India, the ITS installed in the terminal should provide
information in multiple languages (Passenger Information System 2015).
3. Video cameras should be used at strategic terminal locations to allow the terminal staff
to monitor conditions and events in the station, and to record them for law enforcement
purposes. The presence of video cameras and call boxes also acts as deterrent for
crimes.
4. ITS hardware and connection points are typically located in a control room within the
terminal facility. The control room should be located in ‘discreet access area’ to the
terminal, and signed as ‘staff only’.
5. Management needs for including the ITS facility should feature in the operational
planning process of the terminal.

TENSION MEMBER OF A TRUSS MEMBER
Approximate gross area required = 1.15 * (1.1 * Tdg / fy) = 1.15 * 1.1 *230* 1000/250
39
Tdb2 = 0.416 Avn fu + 0.91 Atg fy
The minimum value is due to block shear Tdb2 which is independent on Avn and Atn
Hence, provide angle 125 *75*6 mm connected to the gusset plate using 7 – 20 mm bolts at
50 mm c/c and end distance of 40 mm.

COMPRESSION MEMBER
Compressive load of a truss member = 66.6 KN
Try ISA 75 * 75 * 8 mm

Design compressive force Fd = 112.7 * 1138 / 1000 = 128 KN > 100 KN safe

Notes
Thickness on landing
Assume 20mm clear cover & 12mm ᶲ bars
Effective depth d = 372-20-12/2 = 346 mm
So assume 340mm on landing
Moment at mid span
Mu = (98,376 * 3.6) –(22.65 * 1.8 (3.6 – 1.8/2)) –(28.67 * 1.8 1.8/2) = 268.92KNm/m
Main reinforcement
R = (M/bd2) = (268.92 * 106 / 1000* 3462) = 2.24 MPa
Assume fck = 40 fy = 550
Pt = 0.504
Ast = (Pt*b*d / 100)
Ast (required ) = (0.504/100 * 1000 *346) = 1746.3 mm2
If 16mm ᶲ bars spacing = (201 * 1000 / 1746.3) = 115.1 mm
If 20 mm ᶲ bars spacing = (314.16 * 1000 / 1746.3) = 180 mm spacing
Distributions
Ast (required) = 0.0012 * b * t = 0.0012 * 103 * 372 = 446.4 mm2
12 ᶲ bars spacing = (113 * 1000 / 446) = 253 mm.
