Abstract
This paper presents the bus stop proper name modelling process and models in Banská Bystrica city and Banská Bystrica district. The term A1 model refers to models mapping the bus stop proper name content/meaning. The data set consists of 326 bus stop proper names. These were acquired during a research period in the field and online in June and July 2024. Bus transport in Banská Bystrica city is dominated by A1 = (U) + BT two-component model and A1 = (U) + BT + BT three-component model (1). In Banská Bystrica district, A1 = (U) + BT + BT three-component model is most frequent. The BT functional component was dominant in all models. This component underlines the bus stop’s relation to a specific place and narrows its location. The numeric value (NV) and characteristic (CH) functional components are rarely used. When used, they include a reference to a number or a certain characteristic in the bus stop proper name.
