Method used in estimating travel demand consists of (1) Collection of Primary and Secondary data which are related with daily travel, (2) Making them usable as input to calibrate travel demand models, (3) Generating outputs for further analysis (4) Recommending alignment for metro line construction. Procedural details are given in chapter 2. Preliminary alignment was decided by physically observing traffic flow on road arterials, generation of traffic from important places such as rail stations, industrial and commercial zones, availability of road space for construction of metro lines, and to connect different parts of the city. Full network identified is given in Table 1 and shown in figure 1.
