The new Mapusa KTC Bus Terminal handles movement of inter-State buses while the old bus stand which consists of a building is used by the intra-State buses. The old bus stand has a building complex which houses the KTC office and commercial shops, a hotel on the ground floor and the regional transport office on the upper floors.
It also has a pay toilet facility. As Mapusa bus stand is a central location for buses mostly plying in different parts of Bardez taluka and neighbouring talukas, witnesses heavy movement of vehicles throughout the day.
The construction of a new stand for inter-State buses has greatly contributed in decongesting the traffic as these buses were earlier parked on the road near the taxi stand, which was causing major traffic congestion.
