Abstract In metropolitan cities have been reorganizing the routes of the city buses periodically due to changes in the spatial structure and traffic pattern and the lack of supply due to new developments. However, there is a lack of system to comprehensively evaluate the routes. Even if the evaluation index is not clearly defined, it may not be reasonable. Therefore, it is difficult to set the improvement direction when the bus route is reorganized. In this study, the existing evaluation indexes were reviewed and further investigation was conducted on the problematic indexes. In particular, the degree of curvature has been used as a very important index in the evaluation of the route system, but the existing curvature based curvature has a limitation in considering the traffic characteristics of individual users. For this purpose, a virtual city bus network was set up and the degree of curvature was calculated and compared based on the point - based curvature and stopping point based on individual user O/D. In this study, it is considered that more efficient and practical analysis and evaluation are possible in the evaluation of the city bus route system through the curvature considering the individual user O/D based on the stopping point. It is expected that it will be used at the time of reorganization of city bus route performed by individual local governments in the future.
