Expression "Near of" (He was near of the bus stop)

[Jon]

Hi again !!

This sentence is supposed to be wrong:

"He was near of the bus stop"

But I don't know why so could you give me grammar ideas

Thanks in advance ...

You don't need any preposition at all:

He was near the bus stop.

You could possibly use the preposition 'to', but I wouldn't.
