The paper presents an analysis of the impact of the location of the tram stop at intersections and near pedestrian crossings located on the sections between intersections equipped with traffic lights on the values of time lost. The research was performed in Wrocław, on the two tram stops (Pereca and Grunwaldzki Bridge) characterized by a similar location of tram stop within intersection, and on the two tram stops located on the section between the intersections with traffic lights, before (Hutmen) and behind (Bzowa) pedestrian crossing. Due to the time lost associated with waiting for the signal enabling entry to or exit from the tram, the location of the bus stop behind traffic lights is more advantageous.
