The level of service and efficiency of public transit facilities affect the functions of urban transportation. VISSIM as a microscopic simulation software is conducted to model the operation processes of public transit facilities in the Huayuan intersection located in Tianjin city of China. Three problems are found in this study as following: seriously mutual interference between buses and cars nearby the transit facilities, deficient capacity of left-turn lanes, serious delay at the intersection including buses and cars. Some improved measures are proposed to solve these problems in the research such as changing the location of bus stops, placing bus priority signs and adding lanes. These measures compose three improved schemes. The effects of these schemes are compared from travel times, delay, queue length and bus waiting time. The simulating results show that these schemes can effectively increase the speed of buses and reduce their delay at the intersection.
