In close proximity to the historic Pol area (also called the old city), the development has two components: a bus terminal facility, and a mixed-use saleable area to be operated and maintained by Hubtown Limited for a period of 30 years. The form is inspired by the notion of constant movement. The facade design creates a strong horizontal expression, with continuous shadow lines holding the forms together and connecting to existing context, thus accentuating the idea of movement. Geeta Mandir Bus Terminals is a transit-oriented development (TOD) under a public-private partnership (PPP) project between Gujarat State Road and Transport Corporation and Hub town Limited.
