Guwahati - known as the Gateway of North East India, is a beautiful city surrounded with lush green hills and valleys. Guwahati ISBT (Inter State Bus Terminus) is the central hub for all bus passengers commuting to different parts of Assam and North East India, from Guwahati. It is a communication port for the state run STU buses of Assam and North East and also many private bus fleet operators, which ply from Guwahati to many towns and cities in entire North East. 

The Guwahati ISBT have been developed as a modern bus port with dedicated departure and arrival bus bays, non - ac and ac waiting rooms, cloak rooms, shop vendors, restaurants, bus booking counters and ATM hubs. The state run ASTC (Assam State Transport Corporation) has a dedicated Bus Depot cum Office at Guwahati ISBT.

Daily lakhs of people commute to Upper Assam towns and cities like Jorhat, Sibsagar, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and to Lower Assam towns and cities like Dhubri, Nalbari, Pathsala and Silchar, Karimganj in Barak Valley, within Assam.

DEDICATED BUS BAYS FOR DEPARTURES AND ARRIVALS AT GUWAHATI ISBT, ASSAM

I met Mr Biju Deka, Divisional Engineer, ASTC, Guwahati ISBT during my last visit to Guwahati ISBT. He told that the Assam government along with ASTC is have plans to include and provide more passenger facilities and to upgrade the ISBT like a model Bus Port with more parking facilities and other utilities for public convenience. 

The Guwahati ISBT have become a model hub and transit point for the entire North East India. Opening of such bus ports in adjoining sister states of North East will be a welcoming step to boost the use of road and surface transport in Assam and North East India.
