According to !"$ o%%icials) the %leet is dwindling. 9ommuters wait long minutes and then opt %or other means o% transport.

Design Brief: $he aim o% the assignment is to design a us Depot which consists o% a "tandard Repair and service %acilit#) a bus terminal to boost the bus network across the cit#. (ther necessar# public amenities are also to be considered while designing the bus terminal.

The Bus terminal can (e segregated in 2 )arts: +. 1. us Depot - "ervice area and parking . us terminal

Bus De)ot $he Public shall not have an# access to the us Depot. us parking %or minimum +,, buses is to be provided along with the necessar# %unctional areas.
