Closed form logit models were used to estimate the impact of the proposed fx megataxi express service on transport mode choices of urban travelers in Metro Manila. Eight urban transport modes in the choice set were considered in the multinomial logit, two-level and three-level nested logit models that were used. In the three-level nested logit model, the modes are basically divided into - private (car-driving, car-passenger and regular taxi) and public, with the latter further split into – airconditioned (light rail, airconditioned bus and fx megataxi) and non-airconditioned (jeepney and non-airconditioned bus). Depending on the point of origin and destination as well as points of transfer of the urban traveler, the proposed fx megataxi express service may or may not affect the individual's mode choices. The analysis looks at whether the fx megataxi is retained as the traveler's mode choice, or part of the traveler's choice set, or is totally replaced by other, competing modes.
