1. INTRODUCTION:-
Transportation is one of the most important requirements for the aid of
communication from one place to other for visiting purpose or in the sense of
tourism and for communication between places etc. Transportation system
improves the social, economic, industrial and commercial progress and further
transforms the society into an organized one.
It is one of the essential services, vital force for determining the direction of
development.
Bus terminal
A bus terminus is a designated place where a bus or coach starts or ends its
scheduled route. The terminus is the designated place that a timetable is
timed form. Terminus can be located at bus stations, interchanges, bus
garages or simple stops. Terminus can both start and stop at the same place,
or may be in different locations for starting and finishing a route.
Scale of terminal
It depend on the vehicular movement scale within that city and also on the
size of the city
e.g. Patna is the capital city of Bihar and there is a bulk of interstate buses,
approx. 3000 buses are served on the daily basis so due to this busiest
schedule of buses it comes under cities having large scale traffic movement,
so there would be need for systematic bus terminal having appropriate area.

i.e. Bihar CM lays foundation stone for Rs 361 crore inter-state bus terminal in
Patna.
The swanky bus terminal will come up at 26-acre plot of Patna Municipal
Corporation in Pahari area, situated at the outskirt of the state capital on the
Patna-Gaya road.
2. PROJECT DETAILS-
The rapid urbanization of Patna, has triggered increasing mobility, high travel
demand, increasing congestion, delays, accidents etc. and an appropriate
sustainable transport system is required to overcome the aforesaid issues.
Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (BUIDCO) has
proposed to develop modern Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT) at Mauza-Pahari,
Dist.-Patna.
The New ISBT will replace the current Bus Stop located at Mithapur.
Due to the following reasons or regularly facing problems, Mithapur is shifted:
There is lot garbage all around and it is sinking and there is problem of

leakage, due to these thousands of litre of water has got wastage
regularly.
But that same 1-km stretch is paralyzed most days because of private bus
owners parking their vehicles in front of the institutions.
Nearly 3000 bus are served on the daily basis, and at the bus stand there is
not enough space for serving and parking all buses.
This competition among the bus operators leads to the entire road being
blocked with long queues on both sides.
So this new ISBT will replace the current Bus Depot at Mithapur.
