This research aims to evaluate the location of the BRT Trans Jatim Corridor 1 (Sidoarjo-Gresik) stops using a spatial approach and Points of Interest (POI) data. The study focuses on the relationship between POI distribution and the effectiveness of stop placement in supporting regional connectivity from Sidoarjo, Surabaya, and Gresik as part of the Surabaya Metropolitan Area. The analysis was conducted using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis, mapping the distribution of POIs obtained from big data extraction, including several categories of public and commercial facilities, within the radius of the stops. The radius consideration uses a 400-meter buffer zone to analyze bus stop coverage, in accordance with accessibility standards. The results show that almost half, or about 16 out of 36 bus stops, are less strategically located for reaching areas with high activity density, necessitating adjustments to the locations to improve the accessibility and efficiency of the BRT service. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
