Railway passenger transport stations, serving as gateways to the rail transport network, play a crucial role in facilitating an‎d directing passenger movement within public transportation systems. Therefore, the optimal location of railway passenger stations, considered the heart of the rail network an‎d, on a larger scale, the core of the public transportation network—both urban an‎d intercity—holds significant importance. Given the high construction costs an‎d operational consequences of railway stations, errors in the location selec‎tion process can lead to irreparable outcomes. Thus, employing a comprehensive an‎d reliable method for locating railway passenger stations is essential. In this research, through a review of the literature an‎d experiences of the past two centuries in facility location across various disciplines, including transportation, industrial engineering, urban planning, an‎d geography, the key indicators influencing the location of railway passenger stations have been identified. Subsequently, using a combination of multi-criteria decision-making models—BWM (Best-Worst Method) an‎d EDAS (eva‎luation based on Distance from Average Solution)—these indicators have been eva‎luated, enabling a comparison of location alternatives. After assessing an‎d scoring the eva‎luated options, the position of each point is determined based on the Bertolini diagram, allowing decision-makers to selec‎t the optimal station location according to their criteria. In the final chapter, this method is applied to compare two proposed locations for the construction of a station in the first phase of an urban light rail project. The position of each station is plotted on the Bertolini diagram, assisting decision-makers in making an informed an‎d optimal choice for station construction while considering the prevailing regional conditions.
