Abstract: Disaggregate mode choice models estimation, which are used for evaluating the ridership share on intercity travel service and for identifying modes which will lead to an upgraded traveler's service, constitutes a critical part of evaluating alternative travel service proposals to intercity travel. The aim of this paper is to estimate the choice of mode in intercity travel demand. Disaggregate logit models are estimated by using data collected in order to investigate the passengers' behavior of the broader region under study. The final models are applicable on regional level and have statistics within acceptable region.
