Hossain developed a traffic simulation model `MIXNETSIM' (Mixed traffic network simulation) which can simulate the traffic operations on urban networks of developing cities. Also, the model has been calibrated and validated for Dhaka City traffic situation. However, the model as it is, is not capable of simulating the particular bus operations (e.g. bus stop/start, bus lane and bus priority, etc.). It is, therefore, decided to extend the model in order to be able to simulate the bus operation in details. Such extended model can be used as a tool for studying the bus operations under mixed traffic conditions of developing cities such as Dhaka. The results of the model application will be presented in this paper which will illustrate the way in which the following factors may influence the operation of bus and other road vehicles under mixed traffic conditions: Bus frequencies, variations of traffic demands, locations of the bus stoppage and use of exclusive bus lanes.
