Study was conducted to measure speeds and spacing between buses on freeways or other high-type facilities, where several buses form continuous group at relatively frequent intervals during peak periods, and to determine passenger car equivalent of buses on such roads; study was designed to determine theoretical maximum volumes within specified speed range; volumes were computed for level, tangent sections of freeway with 12-ft lane widths and no lateral restrictions; effects of freeway interchanges, grades, ramps and ramp spacing were not considered.
