Intermodal seamless transportation plays an essential and key role of subway systems (METRO).This study aims is to evaluate intermodal seamless transportation system in Tehran's subway (case study: SADEGHIYEH station) through prioritise existing transportation alternatives(feeder modes) and asses and compare the current situation is according to these priorities.therefore,two perspectives are exists.
