The report describes a controlled experiment carried out on the laboratory's test track, and gives some results showing how the saturation flow of cars and the time savings to buses are affected by the position of the end of the bus lane relative to the stop-line. Some information is given on the effect of changing the position of bus bays. This experimental work is extended by means of a theoretical simulation of a bus lane, where different degrees of traffic saturation, together with changes in other variables, are dealt with. Some results of this simulation are given which are compared with the results of the track experiment. (Author)
