Development Bus Depot Guidelines for ASTRU

While developing bus terminal guidelines, there exists a clear understanding of the need for improved infrastructure and services for passengers in the form of modern bus terminals, most STUs want to prioritize their investments in developing bus depots. This is because newly acquired and rapidly increasing fleet of buses in these cities have no space for parking and servicing. For the purpose under funding from Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, a detailed bus depot design guideline for Association of State Road Transport Undertaking (ASRTU) was undertaken.

Understanding contextual bus depot planning and design requirements undertaking two basic live bus depot design exercises added with literature studies of known local and international best practices. Integrating these findings into the existing bus depots. Provide advisory and co-ordination support to assist the two-case study STUs in further detailing and implementing the developed designs through a PPP or other forms of private funding arrangement. Development of the final guideline document and presenting and discussing with STUs, consultants and other stakeholders with the help of ASRTU and MoRTH.
