Do Service Attributes Influence the Mode Choice of Access-Egress Trips in the Context of Delhi Metro?

Modeling travel choices is a critical step in the planning process. The present study explores commuters’ mode choice preference for the access-egress trips concerning metro stations in Delhi, India. Data was collected from five hundred ten respondents using a tablet-based face-to-face interview at ten metro stations. The available modes included walk, intermediate public transit, bus, and private vehicles. Observable parameters such as travel and socio-demographic characteristics, and non-observable parameters (attitudinal parameters such as satisfaction with comfort, ease in transfer, safety and security, and cost) extracted using exploratory factor analysis, were considered in the multinomial logit model. Key findings of the study show that attitudinal parameters significantly influence mode choice, while socio-demographic characteristics apart from vehicle ownership parameter fail to do so. The results suggest that sustainable modes (walk and IPT) can be promoted by reducing access-egress distance and improving comfort for commuters.
