Abstract
Effectiveness of the existing local bus stops as transition points in mass transportation system of Dhaka metropolitan city area was investigated through a questionnaire survey among 120 randomly selected passengers at four bus stops namely, Azimpur, Jhigatola, Collegegate and Motijheel, between March and June, 2004. Bus stop was found as one of the major factors of mass transportation system for common people that influence the standard of bus services. Inappropriate location and design made the stoppages inconvenient as a transit. In search of effectiveness, this paper emphasizes on the everyday problems faced by the users of different socio-economic status at bus stops. A guideline has also been suggested to establish effective bus stops for Dhaka metropolitan city in terms of location, design and services.
