Abstract
A keystone to an urban transportation balance would be a coordinated system of terminals or transportation centers that enhance rather than impede the efficient functioning of the urban transport system. The transportation center attempts to depict a basic concept of efficient travel-mode interchange that has been embodied, to varying degrees, in comprehensive urban transportation planning. The functional objective of such a center is to provide simple, direct, convenient, safe, comfortable, fast, and economical opportunities to accomplish a desired change of travel mode. A careful evaluation of the needs for urban transportation centers in the light of the individual total urban transport plan will achieve a balanced system, with capacity to meet future needs in an economically feasible, efficient, and convenient manner.
