Abstract: Bus stop is a kind of primary facility in bus operation, it is very important for providing possibility of passengers’ alighting and boarding. In initial stage of land-use & bus developing, simple design of stops is enough for buses’ dwelling and passengers’ boarding & alighting. But as land-use & bus system developing, simple design can’t meet the need of buses and passengers in some lines concentrated and passengers crowded bus stops. In those stops buses’ dwelling time increases, level of bus service descends. it is very necessary to research more about type and scale of stops to ensure the harmonization between capacity and need. After discussing types classification & applicability, stop capacity calculating, and bus operational characteristics, a method to determine type and scale of stop is given here. By the method, the type and scale of stops can be determined when buses and passengers amount is given. After all these, some examples are shown for implemental suggestions.

Key words: bus stop, type, scale, level of service
