There is a mammoth rising from the lake. The new South Integrated Transport Terminal or Terminal Bersepadu Selatan at Bandar Tasik Selatan is scheduled to be opened on 1st January 2011. This bus terminal is bigger than many of the airport terminals in the country. Here’s an exclusive preview of the mega terminal built over part of the lake…

Overview of TBS

The integration part comes from its proximity to the existing ERL, KTM and LRT Stations in Bandar Tasik Selatan. See the long connecting walkway.

The Bridge

A new ramp and bridge connect the terminal from the MRR2.

TBS-BTS

Six floors, 55 bus platforms, 150 taxi bays, 1,000 parking bays and 1,800 seats in air-conditioned waiting halls. Unlike ancient Puduraya, the buses wait at an external bus holding area. So no more free carbon monoxide at the platforms 🙂

The Trains

The three train stations as seen from TBS. City buses will also call alongside the terminal. Taxis and private cars are to pick and drop passengers at a spacious waiting area underneath the building.
