Abstract: As the problem of traffic congestion in big cities is more and more serious, the bus priority has been a basic policy for public transport. In big cities, bus stops for multiple bus routes are prevalent in the bus service system and they are the basic ligaments between passengers and the bus service system. This research gives the way to calculate the number of the berths of buses in a bus stop by dealing with the relationship between the number of the berths and the capacity of the bus stop. According to the service mode of a bus stop, the need of buses’ berths in this bus stop in rush hours can be met with better. The size of the platform is computable based on the number of the berths and the service level of the bus stop, which can be used to calculate the size of a new bus stop and evaluate the rationality of the size of the platform of an existing bus stop.

Key words: urban traffic, bus stops for multiple bus routes, number of berths, bus stop capacity, queue theory, size of the platform
