In India, rapid increase in urbanization increases the demand of bus transportation usage with growth rate of 3% every year. This results in development of new routes in city and rural areas. The terminal operations in India are centric in nature for both pedestrians and vehicles. In order to design the efficient transportation system in terminal area the traffic operation should be centralized by implementing the correction factors. The previous research works were reviewed and the solution for developing the model was suggested in this study. The study of previous researches suggested various factors which influences the terminal design. All those factors were considered and the performance of each factor was studied and reframed with corrected values. This study integrated the terminal factors (Element factors + Operational factors + Structural factors + Dwell time factors (both vehicles and pedestrians)) for efficient terminal design and operations. In associated with the above-mentioned factors bus scheduling was included as a factor in this study and suggestion were made for improvements.
