1. INTRODUCTION : BUS TERMINUS

 

 

2.TERMINAL TYPES: 2.1-INTERCITY 2.1-I NTERCITY BUS TERMINAL : Its usually found in the downtown core and is accessible directly by local transit, taxi, and auto. it differs from other terminal types in that it includes long-haul service in excess of several hundred miles and provides for a much greater number of bus movements.

2.3-URBAN-SUBURBAN COMMUTER TERMINAL : This type of facility may be located within the downtown core, as a central passenger collection and distribution node or on the periphery of the core as a rapid transit feeder station. bus accessibility is an important consideration and exclusive bus lanes on connecting highways are desirable to maintain schedule efficiency. 2.4-SUBURBAN INTERSTATE TERMINAL : This terminal is a peripheral type designed to avoid the traffic congestion and heavy investment associated with central city / airport terminal facilities. its usually located adjacent to interstate interstate highway connections with major cities or regional airports and in many instances serves the increasing outlying urban sprawl areas. it also sometimes referred to as " park and ride" terminals.
