The results revealed that increase in the level of service variables, i.e., travel time and travel cost, the respondents willingness from feeder modes to a present private mode. The findings revealed that as the estimated coefficients for a monthly income of users for three wheelers as a feeder mode has 0.641 times the chance of preferring over minibus while preferences of the bicycle as feeder mode have 0.817 more chances to use the minibus.
