The document compares two interstate bus terminals (ISBT) in India based on their design features and facilities. Both have a hot and dry climate. The ISBT in Vadodara has a smaller campus and built-up area compared to the ISBT in Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi. Some positive aspects of the ISBTs are facilities for disabled access, fire safety measures, and a connected shopping mall. However, some negative aspects are lack of accessibility for disabled people to certain areas, poor ventilation in administrative areas, and absence of clear signage leading to confusion over entries.
