Abstract: This paper seeks to study the household's mobility behaviour in Tehran in a context where the transport supply is mainly private. The objective is to present an analysis of tehrani household's transportation service expenditure, from the information based on an Iranian household consumption survey (2002). Detailed analysis of a sample of households' expenditures allows us to identify the major determinants of transportation service consumption in Tehran. We define as well seven transportation-service-consumer household categories. The various factors stimulating the mobility needs of each category are likely to limit its consumption capacity. The comparison of the weight of this expenditure in households' budget and income suggests then the inequalities between the citizens of Tehran regarding transport services. These comparisons prove the concurrence between public transport and private cars in Tehran, whose possession changes radically the household's consumption of transportation service to mostly private ones, to the detriment of public transport.
