  7. Abstract:
  8. Improvement of public transportation systems through attention to service quality of these systems, is important in order to increase the use of these systems. Various quantitative and qualitative attributes of travel are known effective on service quality of public transportation. The investigated factors in this research, with refrence to regular bus system of the city of Tehran, are: in-vehicle time, fare, crowding and headway. For this purpose, the stated preference data of the respondents who travel to work by regular bus, collected. The survey was conducted during the last month of spring and 360 questionnaires were completed. Stated preference scenarios relating to aforementioned attributes were analysed using multinomial logit models. one model showed that crowding is more important than the other attributes. Furthermore, willingness to pay (WTP) values for improvements of investigated factors, are estimated. The other model represents that how individual characteristics such as gender, age, income level and etc, affect attitude of passengers about each attribute. Introduction and address of unlabeled choice experiments, is important feature of this research
