Abstract
One of the key challenges for cities in the future is urban growth and the mobility
problem accompanies this expansion. This paper investigates how the public transport
system influences travel behavior by analyzing the relationship between the quality of
public transport and modal choice using the data from the 2010 Netherlands National
Travel Survey and the SNAMUTS framework. In this way it contributes to the limited
research in this subject. The empirical analysis indicates that the quality of public transport
does influence modal choice. A more frequent service and shorter travel times to
other nodes increases the likelihood of people travelling via public transport
