NEGETIVE ASPECTS IN TERMS OF
DESIGN :-
• NO RE-FUELLING STATIONS

• SAME ENTRANCE FOR THE STAFF AND THE VISITORS.

• TWO ENTRANCES TO THE ISBT WHICH CAUSES CONFUSION AND THE
ENTRANCE FROM THE RING ROAD SIDE LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE
DEPARTURE AREA FROM WHERE BUSES PASS BY AND CAUSE
DISTURBANCE IN BUS MOVEMENT.

• TICKET COUNTERS IN DEPARTURE AREA FOR CURRENT BOOKING

WHICH CREATE CHAOS.

• THERE IS NO WAY FROM GROUND FLOOR IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO

ARRIVAL AREA TO DEPARTURE AREA OR VICE VERSA YOU HAVE TO
CROSS THE BUS MOBVEMENT AREA WHICH IS OF GREAT RISK.

• NO BARRIER AT THE BUS ENTRANCE TO ISBT BECAUSE OF THIS
