This research examines the activities and experiences within multi-modal transit hubs, focusing on the concept of "place" and its relation to comfort and positive experiences for travelers. It explores how human behavior shapes urban spaces, analyzing issues like overcrowding, inadequate facilities, and accessibility. A comparative study of two key bus terminals—Bangalore's Majestic Bus Terminal and Ahmedabad's Central Bus Terminal—investigates their role as active centres of transition, socialisation, and recreation in India's evolving urban context.
