Abstract

Cities in developing countries are implementing metro rail as a solution to the steep increase in travel demand, leading to traffic congestion. Kochi metro rail was started in the city to attract commuters to public transport. We investigate the intention to use the proposed second phase of Kochi metro between Jawahar Lal Nehru (JLN) Stadium and Infopark for commute. We also analyze the role of attitudes of the individual, subjective norms and a conducive environment in the intention to use the proposed service. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Considering the ordinal nature of the dependent variable, the ordered probit model is used. The three constructs of TPB were found to influence the intention to use metro. Estimation results highlight the need to include attitudes in predicting travel choice behavior. Educational qualification, travel cost and travel time were other influencing variables.
