DESIGN PRINCIPLES
1. SEPARATE TRACKS FOR BUSES, PRIVATE VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIAN TO FELICITATE
TRAFFIC WITH SAFETY.
2. SEPARATE PARKING LOTS FOR THE BUSES ,PRIVATE VEHICLES, AUTO RICKSHAWS
,TAXI. 3. INNOVATIVE LAYOUT AND DESIGN OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARD. MULTIPLE
ROUTES FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.
4. LARGE FOYERS –ATRIUM PUBLIC PLAZAS IN THE BUILDING.
5. WELL DESIGNED PICK-UP AND DROP FACILITIES FOR THE PASSENGERS .
BRIDGE LINKING FROM PLATFORM NO.6 OF RAILWAY STATION TO SECOND FLOOR OF BUS

GER BETWEEN BOTH TERMINALS.IT CATERS TO A DAILY OF 1550 BUSES AND HANDLES
BUSES FROM 3 STATES M.P. , RAJASTHAN AND MAHARASHTRA.
DETAILED COMPONENTS
1. MAIN STRUCTURE SOMEWHAT CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE MAIN BUILDING WITH CEN-
TRAL SHOPPING CENTER , WAITING HALL, AND ALL PASSENGERS AND STAFF FACILITIES
ARE LOCATED AROUND IT .
2. INDOOR PATHWAY IS 6 M WIDE AND SUPPORTED WITH COLUMN AND BEAM STRUCTURE
WITH GRIDS OF 4.5 M X 6 M .
3. IT HAS A LITTLE BIT GOOD COMBINATION OF GLASS WITH SOLID SOLIDS. • SECOND
FLOOR FLEA MARKET, ART AND CRAFT MARKET, • THIRD FLOOR FOOD COURTS, GAME
ZONE, MEGAPLEX.
INFERENCES
• FROM MAIN ROAD TO TERMINAL THERE IS ONE ENTRY AND ONE EXITS ARE PROVIDED
FOR ALL ROUTES BUSES SO ONE WAY TRAFFIC FLOW IS USED FOR EASY AND SMOOTH
DRIVING AS WELL TO HAVE CONTROL ON THE TRAFFIC MOVEMENT.
• IDLE PARKING FOR THE ALL ROUTES BUSES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED IN SUCH AWAY SO
AS TO NOT DISTURB THE MOVEMENT OF BUS ENTERING OR LEAVING THE TERMINAL.
• A SEPARATE PASSENGERS ENTRY AND EXIT IS PROVIDED. THIS PASSENGERS ENTRY

HECTARES. IT HAS A FRONTAGE OF
ABOUT 500M ALONG THE MAIN GHAZ-
IPUR ROAD. MAIN ENTRY TO ISBT IS
FROM ROAD NO. AH-56. THE PRESENT
ISBT IS FUNCTIONAL IN THE NAME OF

- 5 STATES : PUNJAB, HARYANA, JAM-
MU & KASHMIR, UTTAR PRADESH, UT-
TARAKHAND AND RAJASTHAN.
• CONNECTIVITY VIA ROAD FROM :
1. SARAI KALE KHAN 30 MIN (12.2
KM) BY ROAD.
2. GHAZIABAD RAILWAY STATION 45
MIN (14.2 KM).
3. KASHMERE GATE 35 MIN (11 KM).
• TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM OF
DELHI
- BUSES. AUTO-RICKSHAWS. TAXIS.
CYCLE-RICKSHAWS. METRO AND RAIL-
WAY.
ANALYSIS
1. DELHI AND NCR LOSE NEARLY 42 CRORE (420 MILLION) MAN-
HOURS EVERY MONTH WHILE COMMUTING BETWEEN HOME AND OF-
FICE THROUGH PUBLIC TRANSPORT, DUE TO THE TRAFFIC CONGES-
TION.
2. THEREFORE, SERIOUS EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY FOR OTHER
MODE OF TRANSPORT PROJECTS LIKE METRO, TO ENCOURAGE
USAGE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE CITY AS A RESULT, LOAD ON
ROAD NETWORK CAN BECAME LESS. 3. BUSES CONTINUE TO BE THE
MOST POPULAR MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR INTRA-CITY TRAV-
EL.
4. DELHI TRANSPORTATION IS HEAVILY DEPEND UPON ROAD NET-
WORK ,THEREFORE HIGH CONGESTION OCCURS AT MOST OF THE
MAIN JUNCTIONS.
• TOTAL OPERATIONAL BUSES
1. CURRENT INTERSTATE OPERATING ROUTES : 51
2. CURRENT NO. OF DESTINATIONS : 88
3. DTC CURRENTLY OPERATES AROUND 5,000 BUSES.
4. DIMTS HAS ONLY 1,157 CLUSTER BUSES OR 4,343 LESS.
• THE SHOWN CAPACITY AT VARIOUS POINTS IS AS FOLLOWS :
• METRO ENTRY/EXIT
1: 2000 PEOPLE APPROX. PER HOUR.
2: 2000 PEOPLE APPROX. PER HOUR.
• MAIN ENTRY/EXIT
3400 PERSON APPROX. PER HOUR.
• I.S.B.T TO METRO /RAILWAY
3000 PEOPLE APPROX. PER HOUR.
INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
SINGAPORE’S EXPERIMENTAL JURONG SMART BUS STOP
• I.S.B.T TO RAILWAY
3500 PEOPLE APPROX. PER HOUR
ISSUES ANALYSIS
1. 500M STRETCH BETWEEN THE ENTRY POINT OF ANAND
VIHAR INTERSTATE BUS TERMINUS (ISBT) AND THE RAIL-
WAY STATION ON CHAUDHARY CHARAN SINGH MARG IS A
BOTTLENECK.
2. MORE THAN HALF OF THE CARRIAGEWAY IS OCCUPIED -
ROADWAYS BUSES.
3. PROBLEM IS COMPOUNDED BY GRAMIN SEWAS
PARKED RANDOMLY TO ATTRACT PASSENGERS AND THE
HAWKERS DOTTING THE AREA.
4. LITTLE-USED, FOOTBRIDGE IN THE AREA.
5. UP ROADWAYS BUS TERMINUS PETROL PUMP, WHICH
CATERS TO MORE THAN 100 VEHICLES IN AN HOUR.
6. THREE-WHEELERS ARE PARKED ON THIS STRETCH TO
PICK UP PASSENGERS COMING FROM THE RAILWAY STA-
TION.
7. DRIVERS PREFER TO PARK ON ROAD AND, THAT TOO,
HAPHAZARDLY.
8. PETROL PUMP, WHICH HAS A CONTRACT WITH LONG-
DISTANCE BUS OPERATORS, CAN CATER TO ONLY FIVE
BUSES AT A TIME, SO THE REST LINE UP ON THE ROAD.
9. IT TAKES ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO CROSS THE STRETCH
DURING THE PEAK HOURS
