Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to assess the changes in model split ratios at different metro stations from Helwan to Ramsis (Mooarak) station after opening of the new metro line (first phase) in October, 1987. Information concerning these changes are important for replanning the station after the opening by approximately six months. The results of the survey were compared with those obtained from a survey undertaken prior to the opening of the new metro line. The results indicate that in addition to walking, bus, a shared taxis as access/egress modes. Other modes started to appear at many stations although the share of these modes is limited. Another inding shows that at some stations the sengers who used to take buss and shared tasis as access/egress modes to/from the  mstration started to discard the metro and use one direct mode from their origin to their destination without using the metro. The reason is because of the high carrif accompanied the opertation of the metro. The results show that feeders to metro stations should be provided to arrow more passengers and care should be given to elderly and handicapped passengers which confronted with difficulties when using the inctro.
