In　order　to　improve　the　operational　efficiency　and　optimize　the　setting　of　bus　stations,　the　efficiency　evaluation　model　of　bus　stations　based　on　data　envelopment　analysis　method　was　established.　Using　the　data　obtained　from　ten　typical　bus　stations　in　Beijing,　the　relative　operational　efficiency　of　the　ten　stations　was　obtained.　Furthermore,　the　input　redundant　and　output　deficiency　ratio　were　calculated,　and　the　reason　of　the　low-efficiency　bus　stations　was　diagnosed,　which　helps　in　distinguishing　the　key　factors　that　influence　the　operational　efficiency.　Suggestions　for　bus　stations　optimization　were　given　in　the　end.　Case　Study　showed　high　applicability　of　data　envelopment　analysis　in　efficiency　evaluation　for　bus　stations,　which　provides　a　new　thinking　for　the　optimization　of　public　traffic　net　and　the　setting　of　bus　stations.　©　2012　American　Society　of　Civil　Engineering.
