Abstract

Indore is one of the fastest growing cities in India with an urbanization rate of 20.81%. This will lead to an increase in the number of vehicles registered in the city. The significant increase in personal vehicles such as two-wheelers and cars is the cause of increased traffic congestion, accidents, insufficient parking spaces and air pollution. A previous study only looked at private vehicles instead of using public and private vehicles simultaneously. The main objective of this study is to know the number of passengers who will use metro train services in Indore city leaving private vehicles and public transport modes. Data were collected and grouped into three main studies: socioeconomic studies, tourism studies, and fashion change studies. SPSS software is used to analyze survey data, Logit model is used to find probabilities. Data were obtained from questionnaires distributed along the study area of Indore city. An impact analysis was also done by increasing gas prices and another by increasing the speed of the subway.
