Besides, the traffic density caused by the transportation vehicles in the city center is an another reason.

The structure is designed to be located on the local road which is 8 km away from the city center where the new intercity bus terminal also exists. Convenience of the linkage to the new local road ,the connection with the intercity bus terminal and the existence of the rail system near the city were the reasons of choose for this area.
