This work presents results of the research about user\'s opinion about the quality of urban public transportation by bus of medium sized cities. The aim of this study is to obtain reference parameters to evaluate the quality and planning of public transportation systems by bus in these cities. Three researches were done in five cities with the objective to obtain the best representative sample, within an existing restricted budget. The goal of the first research was to know the free answer of the users about the factors that influence the quality o f the urban public transportation by bus. Based on the answers obtained in the first research and in the background studies results developed by others authors, a questionnaire was prepared with \"YES or NO\" options about what were supposed to be the main factors that characterize the quality of public transportation by bus, with the objective to confirm the importance of these factors. In order to verify the patterns of variation of the measurable factors associated to the good, regular and bad classification of each measurable factor, as well as the degree of relative importance of the non measurable parameters, a questionnaire was applied with questions of quantitative and qualitative sense.
