History edit

The bus station was built under a public-private partnership between the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) and realty firm Cube Construction. The building is known as the Ved Transcube Plaza. Built at a cost of 114 crore (US$14 million), the five-storey station is spread over 2.4 lakh square feet. The station handles over 800 buses and as many as 28,000 to 35,000 passengers daily.[2] The commercial complex of the station building has 400 retail shops of an average 250 to 350 square feet each, a flea market, a food court with 22 outlets, a seven-screen multiplex run by PVR Cinemas and a 100-room budget hotel.[2][3]

The design of exterior takes inspiration from the banyan tree which is associated with the name of the city.[1][4]

It was inaugurated by then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on 15 February 2014.[3]
