TYPES OF BUS TERMINAL:

•Intercity bus terminal


•Airport city bus terminal
•Urban-sub urban commuter terminal
•Sub urban interstate terminal

Design considerations Essential Requirements


Principles of Terminals •Primary Infrastructural Requirements
•Access and approach •Supporting infrastructure
•Location •Feeder infrastructure
•Operational parameter •Seating Car and its parking lot dimensions:-
•Existing capacity and future demand estimation •Hardscape and landscaping
•Enhanced level of service •Lighting
•Integrating multi-modal accessibility and feeder infrastructure •Signage
•Crime prevention through environmental design •Public art
•Integrating universal design •In-terminal breakdown services

Platform Types:

Parallel loading:-
1. Requires execssive amount of space,
2. Buses must usually waits until first bus exits,
3. Large terminal requires pedestrian under/
overpass facilities to protect passengers while
TYPE 3 crossing lanes.
SAW TOOTH

Straight Sawtooth loading:


1. Efficient - employed where a lot is comparitively
narrow and deep.
2. Passenger has direct approach to loading door.
3. Baggage trucks can operate between buses for
side loading.
