Public bus service is an essential transport in major cities. This service makes it easier for passengers to move from one place to another place. The aim of this research is to allocate new potential bus stop locations in Shah Alam. The purpose is to use the AHP calculation method to find the average priorities weightage value of the criteria and sub criteria used in this research. The applying of GIS to process the data calculated from the AHP will identify which criteria is preferred over each other to locate new bus stop locations. The methodology in this research is divided into four phases which is preliminary work, data acquisition, data processing, and data analysis. Software used in this research for data processing is ArcGIS Pro. How strategic is the locations of the bus stop according to the population? The rising of urbanization has led to increasing in population density; hence the location, functionality, safety, and visual appearance of bus stop are crucial. Therefore, this research is focused on allocating of new potential bus stop locations that has been identified through the GIS geoprocessing tools. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
