Reviewer 3 Report

In this study, the effects of Alternative Bus-Stop Platforms on Vehicle Emissions and Individual Pollution Exposure at Bus Stops were investigated. On the whole, this is a relatively complete study, and all methods and analysis results are scientific. Therefore, the authors only need to do some minor revisions according to the following suggestions:

  1. In Figure 1, the authors show two different subjects (BBS and CBS). Are they representative? Why did the authors choose them as the research object?
  2. The reason why 14 stops are selected as research parameters in Figure 2 should also be described in detail in this article.
  3. Generally, the unit of emissions is the concentration used, such as ppm. However, in this study, the author used the unit of weight (kg, g). Why?
  4. English grammar needs double check in this article.
