The purpose of this study is to determine the parameters that affect the using of public transportation
for individuals living in the cities which have the different level of development. Within the scope of the study
according to the index of development Ankara, Erzurum, Bayburt are selected respectively as developed,
developing, underdeveloped provinces in Turkey. The sample size is calculated using central district population of
this provinces. Household transportation survey was applied doing a field study between February-April in 2015.
The data set which is obtained from the result of the survey is suitable for the purpose of the study and variables
of the statistical model are determined. Using public transportation is selected as dependent variables. Due to
dependent variable has qualitative and binary response (yes-no, all-nothing) binary logistic regression analysis is
applied. As independent variables sex, age, education level, ownership a driving license, trip purpose, trip time is
chosen in this model. As a result, binary logistic regression model results which are composed separately for each
the different three provinces are compared. The ownership of the driving license, trip purpose, trip time variables
are the significant for using public transportation in Ankara, education level, ownership of the driving license, trip
purpose, trip time are significant in Erzurum, gender, trip time are significant in Bayburt as statistically. While
Erzurum which is selected from developing province group has the highest rate of using public transportation,
Bayburt which is selected from underdeveloped province group has the lowest rate of using public transportation.
