<p>The BLUE line of Delhi Metro (DM) has been examined to identify the post COVID-19 access–egress attributes of users. An on-board survey of metro commuters is conducted in February and March 2021. The respondents reported six different modes for access and egress trips to nearest metro stations with 38.7% and 43% users opting for walking for access-egress trip respectively. The E-rickshaw is observed to be most preferred para-transit mode whereas private vehicle has small mode share for access-egress trip. It is revealed that 46.5% of respondents are captive riders whereas 51% owns at least one motorized private vehicle. The average access and egress distance covered by walking is (0.81+ 0.32/0.35) Km respectively. The average access and egress trip time by walking is (11.19+3.73) and (11.07+4.45) minutes respectively. The average access and egress trip time by E-rickshaw is (13.21+4.09) and (12.56+2.95) minutes respectively. The access and egress trip time by motorized modes are in the range of (12.36-14.39) and (10.41-13.56) minutes respectively. The average main haul distance across all access-egress modes is observed to be (19.69+11.19) Km. To understand the factors influencing the access–egress mode choice multinomial logistic (MNL) regression models are proposed. The access-egress time and distance are observed to be significant factors in access-egress mode choice. Less parking facility offered by DM is significant factor in access mode choice. Occasional commuters are only significant factor in context with frequency of travelling in DM.</p>
