The arrival and departure bays have been redesigned to make them passenger-friendly. The bus circulation plan has been modified and ticket counters have been improved with enquiry booths to help passengers.
The renovated bus terminal will offer air-conditioned waiting lounge to the passengers, and include glass elevators and escalators.
The terminal-has also been installed with public information systems (PIS) to display information information on the the buses and building management systems.
DIMTs officials said that any passenger entering the ISBT terminal from the Kashmere Gate Metro, won’t feel a change in environment.
