Abstract

Providing an efficient transport system in a city give the smooth mobility for people and issue of public transport, which is one of the main causes of congestion and air pollution can be solved with the constantly increasing travel demand and the increasingly insufficient public transport infrastructure in cities presents many advantages, n o t o n l y i n t e r m s o f s u s t a i n a b i l i t y, b u t a l s o i n t e r m s o f e f f i c i e n c y, i t ’ s o n e o f t h e e x a m p l e i s B u s Te r m i n a l . I t p r o v i d e s g r e a t e r p a s s e n g e r c a p a c i t y and a considerably smaller environmental footprint, become a viable and sustainable alternative to the city areas. It strives to maximize public transport traffic speeds, minimize congestion and reduce crash rate by applying different tools. Looking towards the development of Gandhinagar c i t y, it required proper public transport i n f r a s t r u c t u r e . B u s Te r m i n a l c a n b e a o n e o f t h e option to make sustainable transport infrastructure to full fill the current transportation demand. Providing infrastructure plans which consider various modes and there inter connection with an environmental concern will achieve efficient and sustainable urban transport system. Public transport infrastructure plan helps people to easy access from their sector to bus terminal and bus terminal to regional level.

Introduct ion

Trans p ortation 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. To achieve the desired transportation balance and for the system to be efficient, it is essential to provide organized facilities in the system. Trans p ort i s the ess ent ia l co n ven ie nce with wh ich people not just connect but progress also. T h r o u g h o u t h i s t o r y, p e o p l e ' s p r o g r e s s h a s b e e n sustained on the convenience, speed and safety of the modes of transport. As transportation is concerned with the movement between origin and destination involves the movement of people and goods, there is need for an access point in the system for use.

R o a d Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n H i s t o r y During the period of first world war the British government realized the importance of motor bus transport and imported a large number of motor vehicles which where used for war purposes. At the end of the war these motor vehicles were used for civilian purposes, thus by the end of the first world war motor bus transport had more or less rooted itself as one of the permanent mode o f t r a n s p o r t i n t h e c o u n t r y. S i n c e U . P. I s a h e a r t l a n d p r o v i n c e i n t h e c e n t e r O f t h e c o u n t r y. D e v e l o p m e n t o f m o t o r b u s transport within its territories was much remarkable. The British government developed t h i s m e c h a n i c a l r o a d t r a n s p o r t i n U . P. N o t o n l y for its defense purposes but also for commercial purposes.

Introduction

Trans p ortation is o ne of the most importa nt requirements for the aid of communication from one place to other for visiting purpose or in the sense of tourism. A number of factors like the c o n v e n i e n c e f r o m o n e p l a c e t o t h e o t h e r, promotion of tourism, for communication between places etc. Have predicted the importance of planning such as roadways industries in the assense of bus terminals.

After the second world war the Indian public accepted motor transport as one of the important modes of transport , because the number of motor vehicles on Indian roads has been increasing at a very fast rate. So the government of India appointed a number of committees and study groups to study the existing state of this transport and suggest ways and means for free and quick development of motor bus transport in v i e w o f e c o n o m i c d e v e l o p m e n t o f t h e c o u n t r y.

GSRT C serves the role of lifeline across the state of Gujarat. Over past 57 years of its existence, it has proved to be a dependable mode of transportation in every nook and corner of the state. It is providing services in most of the rural areas of the state.

In 1960 they had a fleet strength of 1797 buses, while in june,1978 it was 5,340 which is the second largest in india.Maharashtra brings the largest that fleet holder with 7,600 buses.

Brief and Site analysis

The state of gujarat was formed on may1,1960 when the erstwhile Bombay state was bifurcated into the state of Maharashtra and gujarat. Ahmedabad city initially served as the state capital, but later it was decided in December 1960 to develop a new area near Ahmedabad as the administrative capital of the state. The then chief town planner and architecture advisor to the government Sri. H.K.Mewada designed and finalized the master plan. Work on the capital p r o j e c t s t a r t e d i n 1 9 6 4 . S u b s e q u e n t l y, t h e d i s t r i c t of gandhinagar was carved out of Ahmedabad and Mehsana districts. The total area of the gandhinagar city is 57.38 sq.Km, out of which the planned area is 42.88 sq.Km. The city is planned on a gridiron pattern and is divided into 30 sectors. According to a 2016 estimate, the city has a population of 2,98,035. Facilities that are essential for residential areas including community centers, markets, health care centers and primary schools.

Case study III

1. Delhi and NCR lose nearly 42 crore (420 million) man-hours every month while commuting between home and office through public transport, due to the traffic congestion. 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 travel. 4. Delhi transportation is heavily depend upon road network ,therefore high congestion occurs at most of the main junctions.

This arrangement allows easy docking of buses but 217sqm/bay requires long curb lengths. To avoid long continu(preferred for ous lengths, saw tooth bays maybe provided in offloading bays) parallel arrangement with passing lanes and connecting raised crossing for passenger access This arrangement allows easy docking of buses with shorter curb length. This may be combined with parallel arrangement in terminals with lower bus flow Bays aligned perpendicular to concourse. Ideal arrangement for idle parking
