Wide range of transport policies and public transport systems has to be necessarily evaluated before implementation to assess the benefits and impacts on travel demands. In order to achieve this it is very important to analyze trip maker behaviour especially in choosing mode as it plays pivotal role in estimation of trips based on mode. In this paper, an attempt was made to model the choice behavior of commuters presently using public transport in the city of Ludhiana, India based on Logit and Fuzzy Logic techniques. The choice data was collected through commuter interview survey and results from the developed models are encouraging and show good statistical validity. The study highlighted merits and demerits of each of these choice models. Through this study, the superiority of an intelligent technique like fuzzy logic in developing mode choice model over logit model was demonstrated.
