Futuristic Studies on Decentralization of GSRTC Bus-stand in Ahmedabad City

Ahmedabad is the largest city in the state and it is situated in western India. Ahmedabad was the administrative center and former capital of Gujarat state from 1960 to 1970. The population of city is around 75 lakh. So it is necessary to provide bus-stand in city. In 1965 to 1975 population of city was around 25 lakh. Only the Sabarmati east side known as east Ahmedabad was developed. According to that time only one S.T. bus stand was required so that Geetamandir bus-stand was developed at that time. But now this scenario is changed and now Ahmedabad has become metro city today. Ahmedabad is developed around S.P. Ring road and also east and west zone is developed so that Krushnanagar and Ranip Bus stand are developed. There are many problems faced due to GSRTC buses such as congestion, accidents, more fuel consumption etc. This paper is aimed at decentralization of GSRTC bus-stand from main city area to the outskirts of the city which will help in reduction of above problems and also increase efficiency of bus station by providing GSRTC offices, fuel station and workshop.
