Bus priority

Tingsen (Tim) Xian and Emily Moylan

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 70-71 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Bus priority measures aim to increase road space efficiency in congested settings and incentivise transit mode shift. The measures, such as bus lanes, busways, queue jump lanes and transit signal priority, allocate road space or green time to buses. Because buses typically have high occupancy compared to private vehicles, this reallocation has the potential to improve passenger flow on critical corridors. Advantages and disadvantages of the various measures are context-specific.
