This article focuses on developing a methodology for evaluating the safety of stops from the perspective of passengers outside the vehicle – those boarding, alighting, or approaching the stop. However, before that, it is necessary to analyze the current regulations that deal with this issue. The methodology consists of several steps: identifying the evaluated parameters, measuring them, creating a rating scale, and scoring the stops based on field data. It is then applied in a selected area of Bratislava, covering both urban (MHD) and regional (RAD) stops, in order to verify its universality for different types of stops. The results allow for the comparison of safety levels across stops and the proposal of improvements that can contribute to more efficient, safer, and more modern public transport.
