In a multimodal public transportation system, feeder service is often more disappointing to commuters than rapid transit service. This paper aims to investigate commuters’ needs from access-egress modes by analyzing their travel behavior using a stated preference survey. A travel chart is used to assess modal preferences of access-egress modes where names of travel modes are obscured. The characteristics of different alternative modes during peak hours are represented by relevant images to avoid bias on any particular mode and to get authentic as well as consistent responses. Regular rapid transit users at three metro stations in Kolkata, India stated their preferences for access-egress trips using this travel chart. According to this study, majority of commuters are willing to pay more to reduce their in-vehicle travel time by accepting longer waiting time. They are also willing to pay more for comfortable daily trips when travel time is fixed. Better convenience and lesser number of transfers get more priority than lower travel cost and shorter travel time. However, travel cost remains as a secondary parameter upto a certain cost increment. This limit varies depending on the user’s perceptions and socio-economic characteristics.
