The present research aims at identifying the priority attributes influencing accessibility to the metro stations based on choice riders’ (private vehicle users who choose to ride metro) perception. Tablet-based face-to-face interviews were conducted at the parking lots of metro stations in Delhi, India, to collect 1050 choice rider responses in terms of satisfaction towards the selected accessibility influencing attributes on a six-point Likert-type ordinal rating scale. Three established multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods, namely, Relative to an Identified Distribution Integral Transformation (RIDIT), Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were employed to analyse the collected responses and obtain priority rankings of attributes based on user satisfaction. The study findings indicated users’ priority towards improvement of ‘Presence of Variable Message Signs’, ‘Safety’, ‘Security’, ‘Accessibility in Extreme Weather’, ‘Universal Design Considerations’, ‘Parking Guidance Information’ and higher satisfaction with ‘Egress Time’ and ‘In-Vehicle Travel Time’. A comparison of attribute rankings obtained from the three methods was made using Spearman’s rank-order correlation analysis. The coefficients indicated a consistency in the attribute rankings and a positive relationship among the ranking methods at 99% confidence level. The study outcomes can assist the transport planners and policymakers in devising strategies for priority-based judicious allocation of resources towards the improvement of poorly performing attributes influencing accessibility to metro stations.
