The design and operation of charter and tour bus and shuttle bus terminals at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, are described. Constraints governing the design principles are discussed and operation policies are defined. Each terminal required a different type of layout and operating concept because of land availability and differences in the loading and unloading requirements of users of the types of services offered. Operating labor requirements, other factors influencing cost, and flow rates actually achieved at each terminal are discussed.
