History

The terminus was built to decongest the overcrowded Maharana Pratap Interstate Bus Terminus, which could not bear the increasing traffic. The construction of a new ₹80-crore terminus complex began in March of 1996, [1] and it was opened to the public in January 2005. Later, it was further redeveloped to handle the increased volume of passengers.
