Dubai Municipality was planning major infrastructure projects. Inter-Emirates Taxi Station and Bus Terminus was one of such projects. AWAJ was entrusted with responsibility to design and develop the project based on experience having done a similar project at Deira Taxi Station.
Dubai Municipality was in the process of establishing a public transport service, and as part of organized efforts, a bus terminus was being introduced and intergrated with the taxi terminus. The taxi terminus provides services to local destinations within the Emirate of Dubai as well as the other Emirates of the U.A.E., Viz. Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Support facilities like cafeterias, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. were designed to serve the customers. This being a facility for people in transit, the platforms were designed to provide shade using multi-level timber trellis surrounded by landscape.
