Gurugram bus stand in disarray; officials vow to restructure

The city bus station in Gurugram is finally being removed, having been deemed dangerous in 2015. Due to institutional indifference, the district’s transportation hub—which handled more than 20,000 people per day—has a reputation for being neglected. One gets a bad impression of the Millennium City from the almost nonexistent signage, the dearth of seats and restrooms, the temporary shelters used as ticket and information booths, the severe flooding that occurs during the monsoon season, and the chaotic traffic.

In the past, there have been proposals to move the bus stop from its present site in Sector 12, but throughout the previous three years, it has only received a meager grant of Rs 2.5 crore. The three-structure bus station, which was built in 1959, was deemed “unsafe” by the PWD in 2015 after a safety assessment study. However, the destruction of a portion of the bus stand did not begin until March of this year.

Overwhelmed with grievances, DC After inspecting the Gurugram bus stop today, Nishant Kumar Yadav said that the state transportation department’s principal secretary will get a new repair plan from the government. At the bus station, Yadav promised to create distinct lanes for the passage of people and buses. The proposal would also incorporate the vehicle zone and waiting area.

“We have examined the situation on the ground and have received numerous complaints from passengers.” People will soon see an improvement as we have a plan in place that will be submitted for approval. There will be restrooms and drinking water coolers available, among other amenities. In addition, Nishant Yadav said, “A separate auto zone for private vehicles and passengers arriving by autos will be established at the bus stand.”

According to Pradeep Ahlawat, General Manager of Haryana Roadways, the bus station and workshop in Gurugram were constructed over 14.5 acres. There are 216 busses in the transport facility in total. At the same time, the bus terminal receives about 100 buses every day from various states and districts in Haryana. He promised to create a development plan for the facility as well.
