Findings from commuter travel survey data that taken from mass transit systems in Bangkok and Manila Mass Transit Systems revealed that those who live and having destination as well in mass transit catchment area are not the regular mass transit users. It is meant that the transit system of the study areas are suffering with limited number of ridership. This paper is trying to exhibit the characteristics of mode choice for traveling that both of origin and destination point are within mass transit area. In doing so, multinomial logit model were developed to explain the regular mode choice of those residing in transit catchment areas. The results reveal that access distance and car availability have crucial influence on the tendency of regular mass transit use. Taken together, the results implied that within acceptable walking distance, increasing the quality of walking environment proves an important strategy that can make walking to station more attractive, thereby inducing modal shift to transit. For longer distance, improving feeder bus service is still indispensable, especially in the case where other access modes are very limited.
