ABSTRACT

Under the background of the rapid development of urban rail transit and shared bikes, the passenger flow of urban bus continues to decline. It is urgent to promote the integration of urban rail transit, bus and slow traffic systems to form an integrated public transportation system. Taking typical cities as examples, this paper analyzes three significant changing trends of urban traffic passenger flow characteristics and the demand characteristics of the integration of the three networks in China. Based on the travel demand characteristics of the integration of the three networks in China and combined with international experience, this paper proposes the development connotation focusing on the whole process of people's travel, and points out that there are problems such as insufficient overall planning and construction coordination and difficult integration of operation services in the "Integration of the three networks" in China. Finally, this paper proposes the development strategies and paths of the integration of the three networks are defined from five levels: planning, standards, mechanisms, facilities, networks and services.
