ABSTRACT
Once we have an idea of how many people want to travel between two points, by time of day and transit mode, the next phase is to determine the routes (direct or via transfers) they should take to reach their destination. This determination relies on passenger behaviour in regard to choosing a route if there are alternatives. What is the typical (average) choice strategy if there is a slower or less direct route, but one that does not involve long waiting times? This and other route-choice issues are discussed in this chapter in order to prepare the ground for assigning demand on the transit network. Utilizing an assignment procedure will allow for assessing/predicting changes in transit-service design at the network level.
