It has a supermarket, shopping mall, multiplex, restaurant and food court, commercial offices, and a budget hotel on the premises. The purpose as said by Mr Modi himself was to provide airport-like facilities to the thousands of the passengers who travel by state transport buses.

The Bus station is very close to the Railway station which comes as a good relief for all the passengers as it serves many of purposes like lodging, eating, shopping, entertainment.
