The program outlines the essential functions required for an efficient and user-focused bus station. It includes key passenger areas such as entrance and
exit lobbies, ticket offices, waiting rooms, and luggage storage, along with retail spaces, a cafeteria, and administrative offices. Supporting facilities like
