Abstract: Bus Rapid Transit has been put in practice in several cities in China, but there is less study about form and location of BRT station based on the condition of Chinese mixed traffic. This paper presents several types of BRT stations and the method to locate stations. Base on the analysis, the study pays attention to two models of locating of median BRT stations, nearside stations and far side stations. The design methods for these two types of stations are elaborated and quantitative analyzed. And then, based on the passengers’ walking time, an optimal model of BRT station location is established. It can be used to plan and design the BRT system in China. At last, as a case study, the optimal BRT station location model are used to determine which type of station (nearside station or far side) will be best at Ji’nan City in China.
