Solution

Route map diagram for the given data.

The possible choices for a number of routes commuting from A to place C via place B without using similar mode transportation are

(B1, T’1), (B1, T’2), (B1, A1), (B2, T’1), (B2, T’2)

(B2, A’1), (T1, B’1), (T1, A’1), (T2, B’1), (T2, A’1) (A1, B’1), (A1, T’1) and (A1, T’2)

Therefore, the Required number of routes is 13.
