Sylhet Bureau :
The six-storied bus terminal complex with a brick-red modern structure includes several facilities will have a capacity of accommodating 15,000 travelers in its waiting lounges at once.
The bus departure and arrival system was designed like airports with different gates, so the paths stay clear for the vehicles.
Construction workers said that the entire terminal has been divided into three parts. The length of the departure building located in Part-1 (departure building) is 350 feet, and Part-2 (arrival building) is around 300 feet. The departure building or Part-1 has a large hall with 970 seats for passengers with 48 bus bays. There is also a 30-seat VIP room, 30 ticket counters, and a prayer room. Around six washrooms were also constructed for men, women, and people with physical disabilities.
There will also be restaurants, food courts, breastfeeding zones, and medical facilities for travelers.
The arrival building also has the same amount of facilities as the departure building.
Although both the buildings were separated by Part-1 and Part-2, the whole structure was connected through a corridor which makes the buildings interconnected. The Terminal Operations and Management Office is housed on the fifth floor along with a security control room, CCTV monitoring room, police rooms, and tourist offices for the safety of the passengers.
