Metro rail transit system in Indian urban areas is growing at a rapid rate, to enhance the public transportation and decongest the road transportation. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is an approach of managing urban growth along transit corridor which has mixed land use, integrating infrastructure, transport and development focused around public transit area. Residential self-selection has been reported to perplex the relationship between the built environment and travel behavior. Therefore, it is essential to identify the dissonant groups of TOD, which might result in dissonance which refers to mismatch in land use patterns between individuals preferred residential neighborhood and the type of neighborhood in which they currently reside. Dissonant in TOD are likely to use private transport and less likely to use public transport. This study attempts to fill the gap by exploring the effect of socio demographic and mode choice behavior of individuals living in TOD and Non-TOD neighborhoods in Hyderabad.This research uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using Super decisions software in methodology based on pair wise comparison of criteria which is used to determine their weights considering the data obtained from the respondents. The living conditions of respondents are to be classified into TOD or Non-TOD based on cluster analysis. This study tests the residential selection bias of commuters living in TOD and Non-TOD neighborhoods using a regression analysis. Findings of this study will contribute to the necessary policy implications towards urban structure design and TOD policies to develop Indian context. The findings suggest that travel preference is relatively more influential in transport mode choice decisions compared with built environment features.
