9.1: Design Factors And Characteristics Of Transit Platforms
2.9.2 Station Platforms
a) Design Factors Transit platforms function as queuing areas for passengers waiting for a transit vehicle to arrive and as circulation areas for both departing and arriving passengers. The effective platform area required is based on maintaining a minimum level of service for queuing and circulation. It is important to note that transit platforms have critical passenger holding capacities, which if exceeded, could result in passengers being pushed onto tracks or roadways. It is important to consider the characteristics of passengers and provide for passengers who may require additional space.

2.9.5 Locating Transportation Terminal
Location plays an important role in any case. The strategic locations help a developer or business being successful. According to Jean-Paul, Claude and Brian, (2013) - Location and spatial relations play a significant role in the development of transport terminals.
Usually, the best location to determine the location of activities is dependent on transport. The transport locations help run activities such as facility level, and socioeconomic environment. Through this, once the transportation systems are doing well, the other activity will grow in line with the transportation grow. Transportation will be the guide to develop others. According to (Ahmad, 2003) there are several locations that operate the express bus terminal, as follows:

Good planning will be able to solve a problem and not cause a problem is getting worse. A plan should be reviewed in advance to ensure that planning is done successfully.
2.10 SUMMARY
There are many factors and elements need to be considered before planning of bus terminal. Among others the functions of bus terminal are; as a waiting place to start or end a journey or even as transit. As such basic facilities should be provided for the convenient of the passengers, drivers as well as the operators. As for long distance trips or journey, terminal can be point for change in mode.
The physical aspect in planning bus terminal on accessibility and connectivity are playing important role in order to determine the strategic location for the bus terminal. When the location is being located, the other development will follow the planning. Transportation has been the major element to develop the city. The area will be developed more and more when there are terminal was
