A heterogeneous mixture of vehicle types and the absence of lane discipline are common elements of traffic congestion in developing countries. The foremost objective of this study is to exercise the road space reassignment technique in case of mixed traffic to mitigate traffic congestion while emphasizing the importance of dedicated lanes. The methodology is based on these steps: First, determined the relationship between traffic demand and travel time through regression analysis using micro-simulation results for five different road-lanes cases. Second, a user equilibrium mode assignment model was performed to calculate each passenger’s travel time and also witnessed a possible shift of personal vehicle users to the bus lane based on the analogy of the user equilibrium traffic route assignment model. The dedicated bus lane resulted in 62% reduction in travel time, and almost 78% of passengers shifted their traveling mode from personal vehicles to buses.
