This research aims at gaining a better understanding about how the travelers' attitude to public transport and psychological demands in travel affect the public transport use. Attitude and psychological demand questions are designed in the questionnaire and the survey data is obtained from the Huaibei in Anhui province. Besides descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation used in this study, the travelers' attitude and psychological demands are measured and a discrete mode choice model is built to analyze the related determinants of public transport use. The results suggest that although individual/household socio-demographics are still important, a clear relation is found among travelers' attitude, psychological demands and public transport use. Based on the results, advice is given for government and transportation planners to improve the competition of public transport.
