Abstract
We study the structure of Busemann spaces with measures satisfying the measure contraction property (MCP). The main results are rigidity theorems and structure theorems under the assumption of geodesic completeness or non-collapse. The appendix contains some observations on the tangent cones of geodesically complete Busemann spaces.
