Overview
- Transport minister Ponnam Prabhakar laid the foundation stone Saturday, October 24, 2026, for the new city bus terminal, MMC officials said.
- The MMC has estimated the project cost at about ₹3.2 crore and will fund the construction, with officials saying work will include a compound wall and related site work.
- The terminal design calls for heavy-duty concrete driveways, dedicated bus bays, passenger shelters and public toilet blocks to formalize where city and district buses stop.
- Deccan Chronicle reported the government expects about 1,053 bus trips to operate from the terminal daily and to serve nearly 100,000 passengers, and the minister said completion is targeted within 100 days.
- Reports differ on the exact location—some sources name the Uppal zonal workshop while others call it Boduppal—but the stated goal and MMC funding for reducing bottlenecks at Uppal X Roads are consistent across accounts.
