Abstract
The gateway into any city is the circulation terminals where humans, vehicles and
goods interact usually in large numbers all year round. This interaction may be
harmonious or chaotic depending on how well organized the activities in these
terminals are. Being the gateway into the city such terminals should speak well of the
cities they serve.
Bus terminals being what they are, handles a large number of humans and vehicles
that are to transit. Such humans, goods and vehicles are usually heterogeneous in
nature and require also diverse services. The diverse requirements usually lead to a
chaotic interaction which only proper organization help to ameliorate.
This project seeks to develop a modern bus terminus, taking into consideration the
mode of circulation (traffic) of these commuters and their conveyors in order to
achieve harmonious movement in clear and easily identifiable direction which is the
main activity and for that matter the only activity in the terminus they are all involved
in. An efficient and safe mode of circulation so achieved will go a long way to
enhance the efficiency of such terminals which are not just gateways in to the city but
more so play a prominent role in directing and distributing the activities of the cities
they serve. In the final analysis such terminal will generate more revenue for the city.
It also provides a source of livelihood for many and for that matter some live out their
lives in the terminal.
