Abstract
To improve bus service quality and passengers' safety at bus stops, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between bus stopping behaviors and bus stop conditions. Thus, this study investigated the proper stopping rate at 31 bus stops on Central Boulevard in Busan metropolitan city and analyzed the relationship between the proper stopping rate and bus stop operating conditions such as the length of berth, the distance from the front line of berth to bus shelter and so on. The analysis results show that the proper stopping rate is 45.82 % and the rates are closely related to each bus stop operating condition. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the front line of berth should be located parallel to bus shelter for improving the safety of bus passengers. In addition, it is suggested that the length of berth should be longer than 15m and the pavement marking of berth be redesigned with dash lines to take account of buses' entering and leaving the berth.
