INTRODUCTION

An ISBT is the place where state or interstate buses stop to pick up and drop off
passengers. It is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a place on the roadside,
where buses can stop. It is intended as a terminal station for a number of routes, or as a
transfer station where the routes continue.

It serves as a terminus and departure point for both commuter bus routes as well as for
long-distance interstate routes. ISBT’S are provided with many amenities including shops
& other commercial activities.

Aim

To develop the design solution of the project of isbt at,varanasi proposed by the govt.
Agency -awas bandhu .u.p & is been look after by varanasi development authority.

Need of Project-Inter State Bus Terminal (Isbt)

 The city accommodates a total of about 20 lakh population. The city of Varanasi is
visited by large number of intra-state population almost every day. For a city of
this size and nature, public transport becomes vital, not only in catering to the
local commuting needs, but also for domestic and interstate commuters.
 Varanasi has only one interstate bus terminal in the city located near Cantt.
railway station in the heart of the city. Entire heavy motor vehicle (HMV) (public
carriers) traffic flow passes through this terminal creating a chaos in the area.
 As the existing capacity of the bus terminal is not adequate enough, presently
the buses are parked in nearby area and also on the GT road passing by. This
narrows the road and blocks the smooth flow of the traffic. Further due to its
nearness to cannt railway station the area also takes the pressure of the rail
passengers apart from the local traffic flow.
 Therefore It becomes necessary to develop new Interstate bus terminal on the
outskirt of the city to stop the entry of HMV(public carriers) inside the city. This
will also deviate the local passenger vehicles (Auto rickshaw) from the existing
route easing the movement of intercity traffic.

Scope and objective of project

 To develop an interstate bus terminal which is capable enough to cater the
present growing traffic needs of its own city & the traffic coming from other
states as well.
 To analyze and give solutions to the problems that the city is facing in present &
in coming future years
  To develop the facilities & the amenities at the terminal which could serve the
commuters coming over there in the best possible way.
