YEAR & SEMESTER IV Year / Vil Semester FACULTY IN CHARGE _ : (4A) Prof Justin Prof Balakumar,, (4B) Prof Narayanan, Prof Hemalatha PROJECT TITLE: TRANSIT HUB A transport hub (also transport interchange) is a place where passengers are exchanged between vehicles and / or between transport modes. Public transport hubs include train stations, rapid transit stations, bus stops, tram stops, airports and ferry slips. Intermodal passenger transport hubs in public transport include bus stations, railway stations and metro stations, while a major transport hub, often multimodal (bus and rail), may be referred to as a transport center or as a transit center. Sections of city streets that are devoted to functioning as transit hubs are referred to as transit malls. Often it functions as a transport hub in addition to being a railway station. Journey planning involving transport hubs is more complicated than direct trips, as journeys will typically require a transfer at the hub, Modem electronic journey planners for public transport have a digital representation of both the stops and transport hubs in a network, to allow them to calculate journeys that include transfers at hubs.VELACHERY Tile TIMES OF INDIA Chennai: Velachery bus terminus in bad shape 1 requented by thousands of venies and ongoing hover work has (CHENNAE The bus terminus at Velo tke Arbatur able reach the terminus, There are defunct most ofthe tes, complain regular MTC bus commuters Senior ehizens and stu esslonal of fee passes renewed. inthe opposite side (towards Tam S Kumara Raja fom th be the Mass Rapid Transt System premises (located clagonally opposte to of Velachery Welfare Associa looking a other 18 approach roads towards the terminus are lying battered for yeors ane wate ther to develop the terminus at the existing locaSITE LOCATION: 36 acre @ velachery.
