This article deals with the study and analysis of a multi-modal transportation system (MTS) consisting of a bus shuttle connecting two passengers exchange stations belonging each to another transportation mode (as train lines in our case). The MTS is studied in this paper as a hybrid dynamical system (HDS). The purpose of this paper is to model, simulate and evaluate the performances of the MTS by a colored hybrid Petri nets based model (CHPNs). Owing to the developed model it is possible to analyze the system evolution over time and evaluate passengers waiting times in the two exchange stations. In addition, we show how the number of used buses on the network impact the passengers waiting times. With the aim to illustrate and validate the proposed approach, a concrete scenario is studied. Performed simulations and obtained results are reported and analyzed.
