In the first section people were asked about some trip characteristics and socio economic information were also gathered for each respondents, second section consists of 7 scenarios stated preference. Four variables are used – travel time, headway, fare, and comfort. The software package BIOGEME was used to estimate the relative and quantitative importance of the attributes in the utility function. This was done with a multinomial logit model.
