The invention relates to an automatic stop announcement method of a bus, pertaining to a bus information-releasing method. The method solves the problems of difficult data adjustment and low accuracy of stop announcement under a complicated situation, and comprises the following steps: a bus terminal receives and stores a data sequence of stop announcement in a running route, sent out by a control center through mobile communication. When the bus is in running, the bus terminal first combines current GPS location information with stop location information of auxiliary beacons to periodically find out the nearest stop as a current stop in the running route from the data sequence of the stop announcement. The running modes, namely, the uplink or the downlink, is determined when the bus runs into the current stop. And then the bus terminal adjusts the running mode according to the data sequence, controls the broadcasting and displays the information of the current stop; when the bus leaves the stop, the bus terminal, combining the running mode and in accordance with the data sequence, controls the broadcasting and displays leaving information consisting of the name of the next stop, and sets the next stop in the running route as the current stop.
