Abstract: We develop an equilibrium model of travel by private car and one or more public transit modes. The salient features of the model are the clear distinction between the flow of vehicles and flow of transit passengers and the means of modeling the interaction that occurs between private cars and public transit vehicles that use the same road links of the network. Two classes of model structures for representing the demand for each mode of travel are analyzed. For one of these classes of models, we show that the equilibrium model framework permits the computation of consistent equilibrium flows. The behavioral assumptions that are imbedded in the model are clearly spelled out. Finally, data requirements and computational aspects are discussed in detail. A variety of applications are outlined.
