Minor Project Design Problem- Village-Level Bus Terminal
Design a village-level bus terminal that caters to the public transport needs of a rural
population. The terminal should serve as a functional, user-friendly, and context-sensitive
transit facility.
Design Brief
You are to design a Bus Terminal in a village setting for 3-4 buses. The design must respond
to the local climate, rural character, and user needs, while ensuring ease of
operation,circulation space, turning radius of buses, loading unloading of goods and
passenger entry exit and comfort.
Site Context :

Access: 12 m wide approach road
Surroundings: Agricultural fields on two sides, village settlement on one side
Topography: Flat
Climate: Hot and Dry (Design accordingly)
Area calculation Village bus stand

Key considerations
Bus length = 12.0 m, width ≈ 2.5–2.6 m.
Bay width per bus = 3.5 m (door clearance) and drive/maneuver aisle = 7.5 m (used
inside parking).
Entry / Exit lanes sized for a bus movement: 6.0 m width each.
Maintenance yard supports light servicing for one bus at a time with store-120sq.m
requirement
Turning circle diameter recommended = 23.0 m (radius 11.5 m).
Side rear and front margins are 6 m.
Rain water harvesting- 30-40 sq.m require(tank + recharge pits)
STP area-15-20 sq.m
Design consideration will also include
Clear segregation of pedestrian and vehicular circulation
Rain water harvesting
Sewage treatment plant for grey water recycling
Landscaping -10% of core area
Sustainable material use for building construction
Natural ventilation, daylighting, and climate response
