Abstract(in English) Buses play an important role in suburban cities. Therefore the bus transportation system design is important. A design issue of the bus transportation system is made up of two steps. First step is bus stop number decision problem. Second step is the bus stop location decision problem. In this paper, we propose a solving algorithm for bus transportation system design problem based on optimization theory. The proposed algorithm was applied to the bus transportation system design problem of “Notty”. The new bus stop compared to current bus stop, the total travel distance of user to the bus stop was shortened by 2,551.18 m. Maximum distance of user to the bus stop was shortened by 702.69 m.
