It is important to understand user’s approbation indicators for the performance evaluation necessary for the successful operation and sustenance of the public transport system. BLUE line of Delhi Metro has been examined to identify and evaluate the user’s approbation indicators. An on-board survey of metro commuters is conducted in December 2020. Some of the approbation indicators included in this paper are choice and captive ridership, access modes, access-egress time, main haul distance and time, interchange stations, metro fare, and comfort factors. The analysis of the data reveals that 57.9% of users are under 30 years and users above the age of 50 years do not prefer metro as primary PT mode. About 43.96% of the users are daily metro riders, whereas the 56.04% has different frequency of metro travel. The metro has 46.5% users as captive riders and remaining 53.5% owns at least one personal vehicle. It is noted that 50.8% of the users do not need parking facility and remaining 49.2% users have different opinions on the availability and affordability of parking facility. About 58.5% of user’s report limited to insufficient seating capacity in coach and concourse. Significant users are satisfied with information, signages, and security system provided by Delhi metro. It is revealed that 90% trips have interconnectivity ratio between 0.082 and 0.424 for all access-metro-egress mode combinations. It is also observed that average main haul distance of users is (19.69 ± 11.19) km. To understand the user’s approbation indicators and their inter-relationship, decision tree model is analysed and findings are presented.
