meet the demand and do not offer the desirable levels of
service.
 A terminal is an important component of a transport system
serving as a point of passenger concentration, point of
passenger dispersion, point of loading and unloading
passengers, point of modal interchange, accommodates
waiting passengers and vehicles, accommodates facilities and
amenities for passengers and crew, place of documentation of
the journey, provides an information system and a component
that integrates various systems of transportation.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
MULTI USE SPACE CONCEPT
 In present context business arcade has turned into commercial complexes. It is
one of the major element of urban scape. We can say the present commercial
complexes are the filtered form with addition of comfort and need in one. Use of
modern material increase transparency level in those structures to maximize
exposure.
