1. INTRODUCTION : BUS TERMINUS

2.TERMINAL TYPES:
2.1-INTERCITY BUS TERMINAL :
Its usually found in the downtown core and is accessible directly by local transit, taxi, and auto. it
differs from other terminal types in that it includes long-haul service in excess of several hundred miles
and provides for a much greater number of bus movements.

2.2- AIRPORT-CITY BUS TERMINAL :

This terminal provides primarily for the transportation of airline passengers from an urban center to
the major airport it servers. usually located in the urban center, the terminal is accessible by local
transit systems,taxis, autos.

COMMUTER TERMINAL

2.3-URBAN-SUBURBAN COMMUTER TERMINAL :

This type of facility may be located within the downtown core, as a central passenger collection and
distribution node or on the periphery of the core as a rapid transit feeder station. bus accessibility is an
important consideration and exclusive bus lanes on connecting highways are desirable to maintain
schedule efficiency.

2.4-SUBURBAN INTERSTATE TERMINAL :

This terminal is a peripheral type designed to avoid the traffic congestion and heavy investment
associated with central city / airport terminal facilities.

its usually located adjacent to interstate highway connections with major cities or regional airports
and in many instances serves the increasing outlying urban sprawl areas. it also sometimes referred to
as " park and ride" terminals.
