This document presents three conceptual designs for improving safety at the Dindoshi Bus Terminal in Mumbai. Concept 1 focuses on easing bus maneuvering and operations. Concept 2 adds pedestrian walkways but has medium safety and transfer ease. Concept 3 prioritizes high pedestrian safety and transfer ease by separating bus and pedestrian flows with dedicated lanes, but may be more difficult to implement. Accompanying diagrams illustrate the existing issues and each concept's proposed layout. The redesign aims to rationalize circulation and address conflicts between buses, pedestrians, and commercial activities near the terminal.

- 9. ACCESS TO TERMINAL Large median gap allowing undefined movement and turns
- 10. Poor terminal access: vending activities hinder pedestrian access / movement
- 11. Poor visual access: hard-to- locate terminal
- 12. • Single entrance point for buses and passengers • Reduced driver visibility at entrance point
- 13. Boarding-alighting activity onto a bus in motion
- 14. Interchanging passengers are forced to walk across the open terminal ground, where buses operate
- 15. Congested and haphazard parking within the terminal: • increases safety risk while pulling into and out of parking spaces • very unsafe and hampers efficient bus operations
- 16. POINTS OF CONFLICTS TERMINAL BUILDING Bus movement Pedestrian movement Conflict points Mixed traffic Bus Stationary Bus (parked) BUS STOPS BUS AND PEDESTRIAN EXIT BUS AND PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE BUS PARKING Goregaon Station
- 18. DESIGN OBJECTIVES Phase:1 • Improve pedestrian safety and environment while accessing the terminal. • Rationalise bus circulation within the terminal. • Reorganise terminal layout to reflect desirable and safe movement and flow buses and pedestrians. • Provide better terminal facilities and improve safety for the BEST driver and conductor staff. • Provide amenities for the users to increase safety and usability within the terminal. Phase 2: Integration with commercial component.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Location: Mumbai suburbs (between the suburb of Goregaon (E) and Malad (E)) City’s major employment zones (Urban commercial) On the General Arun Kumar Vaidya Marg leading to Goregaon-Mulund link road, the major east-west corridor Western Railway corridor is within close proximity, A metro corridor is proposed across this area, with a proposed station located near Dindoshi Bus Terminal.
- #5: Designated parkin The present bus infrastructure and passenger amenities/ facilities catering to the passenger needs are inadequate, ill maintained and are of poor standards. Hence upgradations of these are required to meet the future needs of the city.
- #18: Difficult to access the terminal building as the users have to cross through the bus circulation space to access the building for the passes.
