An individual chooses a transport mode for a particular trip based on three attributes i.e., cost of journey (X), In-vehicle travel time to reach destination (Y), and Out-of-vehicle time taken to access mode at respective stops (Z). The values for these attributes for three modes Rail, Bus and Para-transit are given in the table. If the general utility (U) equation is \( U = - 0.5 \times X - 0.3 \times Y - 0.4 \times Z \), using the Logit model, the estimated probability of choosing Bus is _________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
