Upgradation of Baramunda Bus Stand to Inter State Bus Terminus soon
Baramunda Bus Stand in the city is going to be upgraded soon as the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) on Thursday floated tender for architectural and urban design for proposed Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT). As a result, the terminus will serve multiple purposes including commercial office space, retail space, multi-level car parking and open public space. The consultant bagging the project will conduct a detailed survey and project market assessment and suggest a viable revenue generation model. The new terminus will provide facilities for the passengers arriving by rail, bus or intermediate public transport like passenger pick-up and drop-off (PPUDO) for private vehicles, pre-paid auto rickshaws, taxis, cycle rickshaws and taxi aggregator vehicles such as Ola and Uber. The ambitious project will integrate various technology driven features like efficient fibre-optic network, Wi-Fi connectivity, area-wide real-time parking information display system, coordinated transit information system for intra or inter-city bus serdvice and future mass transit system etc.
