1. Introduction

1.1. Background

Dhanbad is a city in the state of Jharkhand, and is also known as the „Coal Capital of
India‟.Dhanbad is famous for coal mining and around 112 coal mines with a total produce
of 27.5 million tonnes and an annual income of INR 7,000 Millions through coal business.
Dhanbad is also rated as being among the top 100 fastest growing cities of world.

Tata Steel, BCCL, ECL and IISCO are some of the companies having coal mines in the
district. Coal-mining, coal washing, and coke making are the main coal related industries
in the city. IISCO (Indian Iron And Steel Company) is now owned by SAIL, while BCCL &
Eastern Coalfields Limited are subsidiaries of CIL (Coal India Limited); these two
companies are the largest operators of coal mines in Dhanbad, and have open cast mines
as well as underground mines, whereas Tata Steel has mostly underground mines.Among
the Rail Divisions of Indian Railway, Dhanbad Rail Division is the second largest in terms
of revenue generation.

1.2. Bus Terminal at Dhanbad

There is one major bus terminal located in Dhanbad. Most of the intercity buses are
operated from this bus terminal during day time. At night time, all the buses are operated
from Railway station. Only few buses are operated through the bus terminal during night
time which is originating from the railway station. At present, no passenger facilities such
as seating arrangements, drinking water, lighting, toilet facilities etc is available in the
existing bus terminal. Buses are parked hap hazardously since there are no organised bus
bays available.

1.3. Rationale for Development of new ISBT & Site Description

Development of Inter State Bus Terminal in Dhanbad Project Information Memorandum

Due to rapid urbanization of Dhanbadhas triggered increasing mobility, high travel

demand, increasing congestion, delays, accidents and etc. and an appropriate sustainable
transport system is required to overcome the aforesaid issues. JUIDCO has proposed to
develop modern Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBTs) in order to address the high
urbanization trend, rapidly growing Urban Transport related issues witnessed in Dhanbad
in Jharkhand. Government of Jharkhand has already identified a land parcel for
construction of Inter State Bus Terminal in punduki village on GT road.The ISBT site lies
on GT Road in Punduki village. Total area of the site is about 12.80 acres. Of the total
12.80 acres area about 1.07 acres of private land parcels (plot nos. 903 and 904) needs to
acquired and balance is government land.

2. Site Appreciation

2.1. Rationale for Development of new ISBT

A bus terminal is the point or area from where a bus route starts or ends, at the bus
terminal the vehicles stop, turn or reverse, and wait before departing for their respective
journeys. At bus terminals passenger board and alight from these buses. It also often
provides a convenient point from where bus services can be controlled.The design of a
bus terminal and its location impacts the other road users and overall efficiency of the
transport system.

Due to rapid urbanization of Dhanbadhas triggered increasing mobility, high travel

demand, increasing congestion, delays, accidents and etc. and an appropriate sustainable
transport system is required to overcome the aforesaid issues. JUIDCO has proposed to
develop modern Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBTs) in order to address the high
urbanization trend, rapidly growing Urban Transport related issues witnessed in Dhanbad
in Jharkhand.

Government of Jharkhand has already identified a land parcel for construction of Inter
State Bus Terminal in punduki village on GT road.

2.2. ISBT Site Description

2.2.1. Proposed ISBT Site Location

The ISBT site lies on GT Road in Punduki village. Total area of the site is about 12.80
acres. Of the total 12.80 acres area about 1.07 acres of private land parcels (plot nos. 903
and 904) needs to acquired and balance is government land.

3. Traffic Survey, Analysis & Projections

The survey planning has been done after carefully analysing the study requirements and
also undertaking a detailed review of the entire available database. A comprehensive site
visit has been conducted by the senior members of study team to understand the existing
bus operation in the city. Based on the findings of reconnaissance survey the location for
conducting the traffic surveys were identified. The traffic surveys were conducted at
existing terminal Bartand bus stand in Dhanbad.The following primary surveys were
carried out as part of the study to assess the demand for the proposed ISBT.

 Bus count and Origin destination surveys

 Passenger Head count surveys
 Passenger Origin destination survey
 Parking survey

Private intercity and interstate buses were counted separately. On an average daily 196
buses are observed to enter/ exit the bus stand in a day. Out of this 162 are intercity
buses and 34 are interstate buses. At this location 5431 passengers were observed in a
day. The peak parking demand observed is of 86 ECS between 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM. The
total parking demand observed at this location also includes the parking demand of
nearby land uses.

The average dwell time of the buses in terminal is on the higher side. The primary reason
for such behaviour is that the buses generally move out of the terminal only after sufficient
number of seats gets occupied. The pattern will in change in future with the increase in
demand levels.

It is envisaged that the entire operation of intercity and interstate buses will happen from
the new proposed ISBT. This shifting will not only help in decongesting the internal city
roads but will also increase the operational efficiencies of long distance buses by reducing
their travel time.

Based on the shift of demand the total trips (intercity and interstate) that will operate from
the proposed terminal for different horizon years are as presented in the table below.

Trips
Year* Intercity Interstate Total
2020 194 40 235
2025 232 48 281
2030 270 57 327
2035 305 65 370
2040 341 73 414
2045 376 81 458

The average dwell time of buses operating in the city is higher than 4 hours. To design
bus bays based on such a high dwell time will lead to an inefficient design of the facility
with high built up area and cost. The higher area of the terminal will in turn results in

Development of Inter State Bus Terminal in Dhanbad Project Information Memorandum

increase in walking distance of pedestrians and thereby discouraging them to use the
facility. In view of this constraints it is proposed that ISBT will have segregated bays based
on the activities (boarding, alighting and Idle).

The idle bays are calculated excluding the buses which are through/via i.e. neither
originated nor destined with in the city. It is observed that these buses have the dwell time
of less than 30 mins. Bays assessment for these buses are done separately.

The number of bays required for boarding and alighting are computed based on the trips
in peak hour and the average boarding and alighting time for passengers. The average
dwell time adopted for alighting and boarding bays in the initial years are 7 mins and 18
mins. These timings are gradually reduced to 5 mins and 10 mins with increase in demand
levels. Also the idle space for parking of buses is computed using the arrival pattern and
the dwell time distribution observed. Based on this assumptions the number of bays
required in the different horizon year is as presented in the table below.

Bays Requirement

Intercity Interstate Peak number

Total
of buses for
bays
Through Alighting Boarding Through Alighting Boarding idle parking

4 4 6 2 1 2 19 114

For designing of facilities at the ISBT one of the most important inputs is the maximum
number of peoples (passengers+visitors) expected to use the facility at a time. The peak
demand is estimated using the peak details of bus trips and average occupancy. The
average occupancy rate for arriving and departing buses is taken as 30% and 70%
respectively. The visitors to passenger ratio adopted is 0.2. Based on this inputs the total
passenger demand during peak hour in horizon year is 2472 (passengers + visitors).
Corresponding to this demand the number of different vehicles for which parking needs to
be provided is assessed. To estimate the parking demand mode share of different
vehicles is adopted based on the share observed and adjusting it to the future years
(share of public transport modes is increased and private modes is decreased). Suitable
share of private modes availing parking facility is assumed. The parking requirement for
the horizon year is as presented in the table below.

Mode Numbers
Two Wheelers 103
Car/Taxi 28
Auto (3 seater) 51
Auto (7 seater) 96
Cycle 49
Cycle Rickshaw 21

4. ISBT Design Considerations

The size of an ISBT is primarily governed by the following factors:
a) Bus traffic demand and characteristics
b) Modes of access to the terminal and composition
c) Passenger demand and accumulation
d) Type of facilities required based on passenger characteristics
e) Operational requirements
Broad guidelines to be followed in the preparation of the layout are:
a) Segregation of traffic by type, function and direction
b) Co-ordination of different activities in terms of functional and spatial inter-
relationships
c) Provision of good user and vehicular information
d) Provision of necessary and identified facilities to meet requirement of all user groups
e) Achieving minimum passenger and vehicular processing time and distance
f) Achieving overall functional and spatial efficiency
Passengers access Inter State Bus Terminal through the following modes. In the layout
plan efforts are made to provide for such access as mentioned below.
1. Walk – An entry point is provided for pedestrians and safe passage to and from
buses.
2. Public Transport Bus Service – In the layout plans bus bays for buses are provided to
ensure easy access for passengers arriving/departing by buses. These are areas
where buses will arrive, pickup/drop off passengers and leave. Separate set of bus
bays will be provided for city services and long-distance through traffic services to
facilitate passengers.
3. Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) – Many passengers arrive by autos, which are
the predominant modes of access. Parking requirements are estimated based on
provisions in other similar terminals and best practices.
4. Private Vehicles – Passengers arrive by cycles, two wheelers and cars. Parking
requirements are estimated based on provisions in other similar terminals and best
practices.

5. ISBT Components
The design criteria of ISBT determining the size of terminal and factors to be taken into
consideration in planning the facilities and activities is primarily governed by the following
factors:

 Traffic Demand
 Traffic Characteristics
 Function of Terminal

Development Options:

Option1: Construction of BTF with required Passenger facilities & amenities and
development of Commercial Facility in a separate area within the Project site.

Option 2: Development of Commercial Facilities above the BTF and leave the
remaining open area for future developments.
