17 Sep 2025 CW Team

The Goa state government has announced plans to construct a new, modern bus stand in Mapusa, addressing a long-standing demand from Bardez residents. The project, to be executed under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, will involve an investment of approximately Rs 1.92 billion.

The decision comes after reports highlighted the deteriorating condition of the existing bus stand, which suffers from potholes, garbage accumulation and waterlogging during the monsoon.

The new bus stand will be developed over an area exceeding 27,000 square metres and will offer significant improvements, including:

Parking:

More than 700 parking spaces, with 500 dedicated to two-wheelers, 200 for four-wheelers and additional spaces for staff.

Amenities:

Two air-conditioned waiting lounges with WiFi, a cargo service facility, a restaurant, and a ticket area equipped with automatic vending machines.

Passenger Convenience:

Separate washrooms for men and women, baby-feeding rooms, drinking water facilities, a help desk, and full accessibility for wheelchairs and luggage trolleys.

The project will be implemented on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) model. The successful bidder will be responsible for the entire development, operation and maintenance of the facility before transferring it back to the government.

A senior official stated that Mapusa’s strategic location—being both commercially and culturally important—makes it ideal for a modern transport hub. The project will also include a commercial complex to enhance viability. The core facilities are expected to be completed within 24 months, with the commercial complex following within 36 months from the appointed date.
