In this paper the method for dividing the boundary of bus stop's territory is studied positively using the actual data. Under the condition that the fare is same in all bus stops. the boundary is determined as the total of following two elements;(a) the “basic boundary” being a boundary in case of no difference in bus running frequency, (b) the “space lag” caused by the difference in frequency. It came clear that the basic one is able to be calculated fairly exactly, if the time required to destination is already known. On the other hand, because there exists the corelation between lag and frequency, the lag can be estimated from the regression equation. Although this method is very simple, it is useful for judging the reason why the bus users concentrate to specific bus routes.
