    Proposed Interchange at Moniya, for Oyo State Government, Ibadan. (Achieving Ease of Movement Through Circulation Definition in an Interchange)
    (Lead City University, 2022-12) Sakirat Abimbola AFOLABI
    This study focused on the need to improve passenger movement in a bid to enhance the transportation sector while assessing the challenges faced with the current situation at the Moniya train station in Ibadan. Integration of a bus terminal with the existing rail transit will provide comfortable and safe travel experience for passengers especially the disabled, aged and young children. This is to be achieved through intermodal transfer of passengers by creating a synergy between the two modes of transportation as a strategy to improve passengers travel pattern. Qualitative research method was adopted for the study using case study approach as the instrument. Five related case studies to include two local (Modern Bus Terminal, Ojoo, Ibadan and Oshodi Interchange, Lagos) and three internationals (Metro Station, Beijing, China; Manukau Bus Interchange, New Zealand and Christ Church Bus Station, Auckland) were analysed using physical observation and photographs to record findings. Journals, books and previous research works related to the study were also upheld and concerned Government offices were visited for data collection. This provided detailed information on the historical background of the project, main spaces provided, materials used and peculiar features about the projects. Findings from the case studies shows that ease of movement is achieved based on factors to include accessibility, space zoning / Facilities provided, shelter, security, operating system, visibility, adequate ventilation and daylighting. However, direction of movement and space allocation have been found to be the most important factors that determines easy movement along the circulation flow. In conclusion, an effective interchange will ensure efficient circulation and seamless movement within and around the interchange, serve as protection from weather effect with the provision of adequate ventilation and efficient daylighting. This study therefore, recommends that the above findings be included in all proposed interchange designs.
