  In this paper we have considered an anisotropic space-time model of the
Universe in presence of Brans-Dicke (BD) scalar field $\phi$, causal viscous
fluid and barotropic fluid. We have shown that irrespective of fluid the
causality theory provides late time acceleration of the Universe. If the
deceleration occurs in radial direction and acceleration occurs in transverse
direction then the anisotropic Universe will accelerate for a particular
condition of the power law representation of the scale factors.
