dc.description.abstractTraffic congestion has been rapidly increasing in developing and developed countries. It leads to an increase in travel time and a loss in reliability. This research focuses on providing priority to buses and reducing the delay on side streets as well. Priority is given to buses based on the number of passengers on the bus. A survey is also conducted to determine the perception of transit users along the Centre street corridor in Calgary regarding the existing priority measures on the corridor. The results showed that there is a decrease in travel time and side street delay with the application of priority based on a number of passengers on the buses compared to the existing priority measures on the corridor. From the survey results, a multinomial logistic regression model was developed. The multinomial logistic regression model showed that respondent’s encouragement to use transit because of the existing priority measures.en_US
