The architecture competition brief calls for a design of a transit hub for buses.
Buses, Trains, Taxis, and other forms of native transport systems in different parts of the world have provided humans with an option of hassle-free transit options within cities and states. These transit systems have adapted to the needs of the particular locality ever since their inception. The purpose of such a public transit system is that it helps reduce the clutter on the street which has far-reaching effects on the economy and the environment.
Contrary to its intentions, the scenario of public transport is seen to be substandard due to neglect, which creates a negative image of the system. The current situation around the world is that vehicular pollution has undeniably gone through the roof and measures to curb this have been implemented around the world. But not all of these systems would prove feasible over the long run or even sustainable.
The endorsement of public transit by citizens has never been more urgent. But while the operational infrastructure of the transport facility is in place, its use is restricted as not much forethought is placed on the quality of travel and well-being of passengers.
The architecture competition brief calls for a design of a transit hub for buses. The hub will also cater to after transit support/private vehicles (cab, rental etc.) that acts as the central station for the entire city, making it easy to provide transport modes to reach every corner of the region. The hub would contain stations for public buses and other transport options within and outside the state. While most of the public transit systems offer a place for the vehicles to be parked and boarded, creating a hub would converge all transit-related processes to one place, making it easier for people to come to and disperse from the city centre, where facilities are currently concentrated. This initiative would improve accountability and transparency in the process as well as encourage people to use public transit more.
