A variation of the classical Wiener index, the modified Wiener index, that was introduced in 1991 by Graovac and Pisanski, takes into account the symmetries of a given graph. In this paper it is proved that the computation of the modified Wiener index of a graph G can be reduced to the computation of the Wiener indices of the appropriately weighted quotient graphs of the canonical metric representation of G. The computation simplifies in the case when G is a partial cube. The method developed is applied to two infinite families of fullerene patches.
