Secondly, this paper forecasts a transferring ridership from the MRT to BRT for Neihu, a district of Taipei City using disaggregate model of mode choice. The results show passengers tend to ride the MRT system and transfer to BRT based on a foundation of substantially upgraded bus system performances.
