The highly anticipated Integrated Bus Terminus in Coimbatore has faced yet another setback, with further delays pushing back its completion timeline. Originally slated to be completed by 2019, the project aimed to provide a modern, well-organized transportation hub at Vellalore to alleviate congestion and streamline bus services in the city.
However, the project has been stalled for several years, primarily due to persistent challenges related to site finalization. The shifting priorities of the Coimbatore city corporation and the state government have led to frequent changes in the project’s direction, with various plans being discussed and reconsidered.
The delay has raised concerns among both the public and transport authorities, who see the integrated bus stand as a crucial element in improving the city’s infrastructure and easing the burden on the current bus terminals, which often face overcrowding. The new terminus is expected to provide better connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and offer a more comfortable experience for commuters.
Despite these expectations, the project’s uncertain future has led to frustrations among residents and stakeholders, many of whom had hoped that the terminal would be a key part of Coimbatore’s urban development. As of now, there is no clear timeline for when the Integrated Bus Stand will be completed or when construction will resume.-AirMedia Broadcast
