| Abstract | A large number of fare discounted campaign were launched to increase the elevated
mass transit ridership, free shuttle bus service is another kind of promotion which provides as
an accessible and convenient facility. The study of travel behavior of present users is the

from the study can be divided in two parts. The first part is results of travel behavior of mass
transit users by comparison periodic data with the recent study. It was found that ooccasional
