The terminal offers 3 vehicular entry points, where private vehicles, jeepneys and shuttle services, and provincial and city buses are segregated from each other upon entry with individual drop off areas for effective unloading of passengers in the terminal. A split level terminal for loading of departing passengers, one level for buses and the second level for jeepneys and shuttle services.

Monitoring of departing vehicles in one vantage point is easy rather than having a clustered terminal. A major road with 3 lanes leading to express way within the terminal is for the departing provincial buses, this will prevent vehicular congestion in the terminal.
