摘要：	This report will be of interest to individuals and groups with a stake in the location and design of bus stops. This includes those associated with public transportation organizations, public works departments, local departments of transportation, developers, and public and private organizations along or near bus routes. The primary objective of this research was to develop guidelines for locating and designing bus stops in various operating environments. These guidelines will assist transit agencies, local governments, and other public bodies in locating and designing bus stops that consider bus patrons' convenience, safety, and access to sites as well as safe transit operations and traffic flow. The guidelines include information about locating and designing bus stops and checklists of factors that should be considered. The research began with a literature review and the identification of stakeholders' concerns through mail-out and telephone surveys and face-to-face interviews. A review of 28 transit agency manuals on bus stop design and location provided the basis for an appraisal of current practice. Observations made at more than 270 bus stops during regional visits to Arizona, Michigan, and California were supplemented with traffic field studies conducted at 14 bus stops and pedestrian field studies conducted at 10 bus stops. Computer simulation of bus stops on suburban highways was also used to develop the findings. The guidelines include three sections: the "big picture", street-side design, and curb-side design. The guidelines also include two appendixes that present the results of the street-side and curb-side studies.
