Public transport priority is an essential transport engineering technique for the transition to sustainable urban mobility. This article presents a case study that simulates the effects of introducing a queue jump lane followed by a bus lane beyond an intersection compared to a dedicated lane only in the section beyond the intersection (without introducing a queue jump lane). The monitored parameters were speed and reliability of public transport. The simulation was performed using the PTV Vissim program. The case study was evaluated in terms of public transport operation, as well as selected effects on other road traffic with the aim to determine the optimal traffic engineering design and improve public transport operation in practice. This case study provides valuable insights into the effects of these priority measures. The results can contribute to the improvement of public transport operations.
