    This document discusses bus terminals and their planning. It begins by explaining the importance of transportation and terminals as access points in transportation systems. It then discusses bus terminals' role as urban nodes that concentrate, disperse, load/unload passengers, and allow for interchanging modes. The document also outlines the hierarchy of bus terminals from basic bus stops to intercity terminals. The main planning criteria for terminals are discussed as need, size, location, and design. Key requirements for bus terminals like waiting areas, offices, and vehicle maintenance facilities are also outlined. Finally, the document examines vehicle movement types around parking bays and provides dimensions for buses and turning radiuses.

    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

    In general, the four basic planning criteria for planning of


    terminals are

    1.Need
    The selection of the location should satisfy the following
    NEED of the terminal arises with increase in the
    criteriademand. An organized bus terminal should meet the

    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


    the size of the terminal and its functionsFlow of traffic
    System characteristics
    User characteristics

    4.Design
    Following points should be kept in mind for efficient workability
    of terminal1.Segregation of bus and non-bus traffic
    2.Segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement
    3.Elimination of vehicular traffic conflict
    4.Segregation of pedestrian flows
