'''Tangasseri Bus Terminal''' or '''Tangasseri Bus Bay''' is a bus station in the city of [[Kollam]], [[India]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/content/269805/collector-stays-bus-stand-construction/ |title=Collector stays bus stand construction |publisher=India Environmental Portal |access-date=2015-12-16 }}</ref> The bus terminal is opened on 6 September 2014 by Prasanna Earnest, the then Mayor of [[Kollam]] city.

==History==
The intention behind the bus terminal project was to cater the seaside enclave, [[Tangasseri]], with a safe and comfortable way of transportation. Tangasseri witnesses heavy traffic congestion during the morning and evening peak hours because of the hundreds of vehicles reaching there to drop students to the two leading schools in the city, Infant Jesus School and [[Mount Carmel Convent Anglo-Indian Girls High School|Mount Carmel School]]. The narrow city road to these schools is also the terminal point for various city service private bus route and this worsens the traffic congestion. This had raised the demand for a separate terminal for city services arriving [[Tangasseri]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/tangasseri-bus-bay-getting-ready/article6366448.ece |title=Tangasseri bus bay getting ready |newspaper=The Hindu |access-date=2015-12-16 }}</ref>

The bus terminal project was actually planned in 2008 by N. Padmalochanan, the second mayor of [[Kollam Municipal Corporation|Kollam City Corporation]]. But due to environmental clearance issues and geographical and archaeological importance of the site, the district collector of Kollam directed the authorities to stop all the construction activities for bus terminal.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/content/269805/collector-stays-bus-stand-construction/ |title=Collector stays bus stand construction |publisher=India Environmental Portal |access-date=2015-12-16 }}</ref> Later on 2014, the works resumed after getting the clearance.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/council-clearance-for-bus-bay-at-tangasseri/article1404794.ece |title=Council clearance for bus bay at Tangasseri |newspaper=The Hindu |access-date=2015-12-16 }}</ref>
