<br/><br/> The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of Microbus-stops on traffic parameters and traffic operation by re-developing a macroscopic stochastic simulation model. Also, the study used to estimate the reduction in traffic speeds, change in traffic density and to calculate the average traffic delay due to the microbus stops. A macroscopic traffic simulation model is created using MATLAB programming language to investigate the impact of on street microbus informal stops on the traffic stream parameters; traffic speed, traffic density and average traffic delay. The model was utilized to study the effect of number of blocked lanes, microbus headway, microbus dwell time, separating distance between microbus stops at different levels of volume to capacity ratios
