elements that provide a framework supporting an entire structure of

development.

society, such as roads, bridges, water supply, sewers, electrical

grids, telecommunications, and so forth,
Physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services

Environmental Consideration
58
Environmental considerations
The activities of a bus depot and workshop can have a significant impact
on the environment. If adequate measures are not taken they can cause
serious damage.
The main potential problems are traffic congestion caused by buses
entering and leaving the depot, pollution from exhaust fumes and excessive
noise from the vehicles themselves and from other workshop activities.
Less visible, but often more serious, is environmental damage caused by
waste oil or spilled fuel entering the drainage system or polluting nearby
rivers. A vehicle workshop generates a considerable quantity of waste oil
and if this is not disposed of properly it can cause serious pollution.
These environmental problems can be minimized with good design of the
facilities, proper maintenance, and good discipline and housekeeping.
