        Travel habits play a key role in choosing travel mode in a way that Structuring and guiding the user intentions based on the collective interests lead to an organic formation of urban transport planning capacities. The aim of this article is to identify the Permanent pattern in using private and public modes of transport, so the transport behavior of Tabriz can be planned. For this purpose, the cluster method has been used to classify travelers based on habit index or frequency of particular travel model. Methodology of the article is descriptive, analytical and survey. Data was collected in the form of questionnaires and obtaining comments in relation to public relocation in Tabriz. The samples were estimated randomly using Cochran formula for 1100 people in 166 traffic area of Tabriz as one-step cluster sampling, then analyzed through multivariate variance tests. According to research findings, seven patterns of travel choice mode were identified, among them, users with the ability to change the travel mode and public transport users are substantial clusters which show different behaviors and features compared to other clusters. Therefore, this idea is confirmed that different patterns of travel mode may be directed towards various methods for effective transport plans. Manuscript profile
