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:
- 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?
- The reason why 14 stops are selected as research parameters in Figure 2 should also be described in detail in this article.
- 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?
- English grammar needs double check in this article.
