This terminus complex has the facility of gazebo (central sitting place), administrative Block containing a starter room, first aid room, pantry and toilets. This bus terminus has a charging station for electric buses. A space has been reserved for construction of food kiosks.

This area has three large housing complexes namely Sukhobrishti constructed by Shaporji & Pallonji, ELITA Garden Vista and DLF New Town Heights. The total number of projected population of these three housing complexes is one lakh.
