Bus Depot Design Guidelines
SGArchitects November, 2016
The need …..CURRENT SCENARIO• STUs carry approx. 70 million passengers everyday
• 20 to 40% of all vehicular trips in cities are made by buses
• Public bus fleets haven’t been augmented for two decades
• Ridership declining rapidly due to acute shortage in fleet and supporting infrastructure like terminals & depots
DESIRED SITUATION• Double the market share of bus systems by 2025 (UITP)
KEY BARRIERS• The limited funding available is mostly directed towards
fleet augmentation – support infrastructure ignored
• Lack of capacity in STUs leading to improper planning and execution of PPP projects
‘Bus Depot Design Guideline’ aimed to provide capacity building support to STUs

Financing DepotsFunding Mechanism
•Authority acquires land, provides specifications for the design and layout of the Bus Depot, FAR, product mix
•Hires a private player to construct the BD, operate it over the concession period and then transfer it to the Authority
•Construction and operational costs borne by private player, revenues accrue to the private player
BOT model
Cost and Revenue Generation. Land as an Asset – Commercial Spaces, Parking lots, Parking rentals from the
private operators. Revised Institutional arrangements - Creation of dedicated Depot funds
through SPV Reducing tax burdens such as relaxation on property tax etc. Controlling prodigality through depot operations – Reducing Cost of
operations, Dead Mileages, Increasing fuel Efficiency and Inducing driver trainings
Build Operate Transfer(BOT) Private Funding
Public funding
Concession Period – 25 -30 years
STU sole funder, operator &Developer
Involves long technical O&M Component

• Depot capacity < 80 - 100, is operationally, spatially and financially inefficient - similarly, capacity >200 – 220 does not yield higher efficiency
• Urban plans should incorporate land requirements for depot support infrastructure based on projected fleet – 150 sqm per bus for depot and 100 sqm per bus for terminals
• Multi-level bus parking not feasible for less than 200 buses• Per bus area requirement reduces by 50% to 80sqm with MLBP but per bus
cost triples to 24 lakh.• Per bus value of land released may vary from 33lakh to 1 crore.• Adjusting existing demand on MLBP in high value land – development cost can
be fully funded by released land sale.
