This study develops and tests a strategy to operate bus on platoon. The bus operation in platoon with bus priority lane increase passenger carrying capacity and efficiency. Three cases normal bus with BSP, bus platoon in set back bus lane with BSP and bus platoon in continuous bus lane with BSP have been compared using simulation method. The BSP to bus platoon has resulted less impact to other vehicles as numbers of priority activated are reduced compared to single bus operation. Finally, it has discussed about implementation issues to prevent platoon disruption and speed up passenger boarding at bus stop.
