The　importance　of　a　transportation　terminal＇s　transfer　efficiency　to　passengers　is　well　known.　However,　it　is　still　a　problem　of　how　to　combine　the　various　indicators　into　a　single　indicator　that　can　be　used　to　quickly　compare　transportation　terminals＇　transfer　efficiency　and　identify　those　terminals　in　need　of　intervention.　This　paper　presents　a　study　that　is　reflective　of　such　an　effort.　Using　the　transfer　data　obtained　from　10　transportation　terminals　in　Beijing,　the　individual　performance　measures　were　combined　into　a　single　comprehensive　measure　through　the　data　envelopment　analysis　(DEA).　Efficiency　is　allowed　to　be　measured　by　DEA　when　decision　making　units　have　multiple　inputs　and　multiple　outputs.　The　input　variables　are　the　transfer　area,　operating　expense,　(the　number　of)　staff　in　the　terminal　and　the　capacity　of　buses.　The　output　variables　are　measured　by　the　transfer　safety　and　average　transfer　time　of　all　the　transfer　passengers.　This　paper　gained　the　efficiency　order　of　the　10　transportation　terminals　in　Beijing,　and　provides　the　potential　improvements　of　each　efficiency　indicators.　The　findings　and　limitations　of　DEA　are　also　discussed.
