The Gandhipuram Central Bus Terminus, commonly known as the Gandhipuram Bus Terminus, is a bus terminus in Coimbatore that serves intercity buses.

History

In Coimbatore, town buses started operating in 1921 to serve most parts of the city, as well as other towns and villages in the district. A central bus terminus was started in 1974 in Gandhipuram. Due to increases in population and vehicular traffic, additional bus terminals were created in Ukkadam, Singanallur and Saibaba Colony. At the current situation, northbound and eastbound buses from the city use this bus terminal. It is located centrally in the city.

Services

Bus service includes inter-city and intra-city buses that connect Coimbatore operate from different bus stands.
