ABSTRACT: The travel characteristics of commuters in Akure Metropolis were obtained in terms of trip destinations, travel modes, capacity of vehicles used, number of vehicles and the frequency of trips. The travel distance, travel time and cost of travel were also measured. It was found that an average 9,391 intercity trips were generated daily from Akure Metropolis to various destinations out of which Lagos has the highest number of person trips. 77.54% and 22.46% of the total trips were made by bus and car respectively. The socio-economic status of the people was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The analysis results show that people with an average income ranging from N20,001 to N30,000 travel most with public vehicles while people between the ages of 31 and 50 make the highest number of trips. Regression analysis of the trips generated in terms of the travel characteristics produced a model which explained the data to an accuracy of 98.7%.
