Abstract
Choice of modes for work trips in medium size cities in India is a difficult one due to the constrained travel budget and characteristic large separation of homes and work places. Multiplicity of modes for urban travel is also a particular phenomena. In this paper a modelling effort for mode choice selection in Patna is reported where MNL and EBH techniques have been used. The models reproduce the observed behaviour very closely and revealed other travel characteristics of commuters in Patna.
