In general, the main cities in thee regions are characterised by a rapid growth of population and an important migration from rural areas caused by the unsatisfactory conditions in the rural surroundings and also the pull exerted by potential economic and socieal opportuities existing in an urban center. As a result, the authorities at a national or local level are faced with the necessity to cope with the demand for transport with the constrains of infrastructure, time and fonancial costs. In many cases it seems that public transport is viewed as a means of solving urban transport problems. Buses, wich are the major from of public transport, are subjected to very long traffic congestion delays with all the consequences for the operator on its operations and patronage. So, possible solutions to improvement of transport system have to be sought. In fact, they are various and one has to think of the most appropriate according to the characteristics of the city and the constrains already given. One possibility consists in refining the existing system by eliminating some of its weaknesses using bus priority policies. The policy measure the present study will look at is the implementation of an exclusive busway system. A busway is a separate track or part of a roadway allocated to the use of bus operation only.
