People who travel on the Metro on a daily basis, especially women, are averse to waiting for last-mile transportation, and modes of transit that have a frequency greater than 10 minutes are unlikely to be preferred, a survey of commuters released on Monday said.

The survey observes that the aversion to waiting makes some women choose more expensive, faster last-mile modes.
