Nowadays, walking as a primary mode of transportation in the work stage of metro commuting has been paid little attention; most studies focus on transfer mode choice of the home stage. However, although walking is the most commonly used egress mode, the long route, the large block size, the terrible walking environment and the delay at intersections all decrease overall satisfaction. Based on the reveled preference data in Nanjing, China, this paper applied a log it model to quantify the impacts of individual characteristics, egress distance and walking environment attributes on commuters’ walking satisfaction. The results indicate that egress distance has highly apparent negative effects on walking satisfaction when the distance exceeds a certain high value. Additionally, when the distance ranges from a low value to a high value, the distance affection significantly decreased as the positive effects (walking facility, walking environment, walking convenience) gradually increased.
