Accidents usually occur at bus stations, especially during peak hours. In China, there are usually more than 30 persons waiting for buses at the same time, and they often stand on the roadway instead of in the waiting area. This study attempts to determine the parking patterns of bus drivers when they are pulling into bus stations. The travelers' behavior at bus stations when they are waiting for buses is recorded by a videotape recorder. It is assumed that the parking position of buses is influenced by the security level of the bus stations. So, experiments were carried out on 10 groups and got 116 samples about harbor-shaped and non-harbor-shaped bus stations. According to the results, it was found that the travelers' waiting habits and cars parking in the bus station area are the main reasons for passenger-vehicle conflicts. However, the bus parking positions are not correlated with conflicts, which is the opposite of what was expected.
