This paper analyzes the cost structure of urban bus operations in Yangon, Myanmar. The data regarding the revenues and costs of local bus operators are collected during the interviews with the bus companies, the bus control committees and individual bus owners. The operating cost includes the fuel cost, labor cost, maintenance cost, office cost and others. Then, the operating cost functions are estimated from the statistical approach. The results show that the marginal cost with respect to vehicle-km in the city-bus individual operators is much higher than in the truck-bus individual operators; that the city-bus individual operators have higher marginal cost with respect to vehicle-km than the truck-bus individual operators; and that the marginal cost with respect to number of vehicle for the city-bus individual operators is five-time higher than that for the truck-bus individual operators.
