In this paper, analysis on arriving, dwell and leaving process of buses, the method to calculate bus delays at stops are proposed according to survey data from three bus routes in Beijing. Statistical analysis is also adopted respectively to evaluate average times that buses are docking at curbside and bay-style stops. Moreover, different load factors of passengers in buses have significantly influenced the average boarding and alighting time per person. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed methods is illustrated through case studies. This study is crucial and helpful for the planners and operators to evaluate the efficiency and level of service of urban public transportation.
