Stage bus operated in the mixed traffic might always meet many problems about low quality and reliability of services. The low quality and reliability of bus service can make the system not attractive and directly reduce the interest of using bus service. This paper presents the result of field investigation and analysis of ontime performance and service regularity of stage bus in mixed traffic. Data for analysis was collected from the field by onboard observation along the IpohLumut corridor in Perak, Malaysia. From analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that ontime performance and service regularity varies depend on station, typical day, time period, operation characteristics of bus and characteristics of traffic. The ontime performance and service regularity of stage bus in mixed traffic can be derived by using data collected by onboard survey. It is clear that ontime performance and service regularity of the existing stage bus system was low.
