The Competition And Cooperation Between Bus Transit And Rail Transit

With the rapid development of economy, urbanization and mobilization, the demand of traffic is hardly increased; urban traffic is facing severe test and challenge. Construct mass rapid transit has already become an important measure to develop fully functional pubic transit. Although the rising of rail transit dose not means replace the bus transit, with the perfect of rail network, it will bring great pinch to bus transit. How to develop both bus transit and rail transit in a body? How to establish the dominant role of public transit in urban transport system? This has become an urgent task.Based on the analyzed public transit exterior environment, the development of general situation, trend and compared the characteristics of bus transit and rail transit. Determined competition relationship between bus transit and rail transit by using the theory of cross-price elasticity of demand. Ascertain bus transit, rail transit and other combination mode predominance range corresponding different travel length and transfer length. Bring forward specific measures to implement bus transit and rail transit niche staggering competition by using ecological niche theory, Analyzing contend area of bus transit and rail transit, building the competition model between bus transit and rail transit, Furthermore, through the model determined their competition result. Based on the cooperation between bus transit and rail transit, bring forward compute method to match transport capacity, based on the minimum travel time determined their optimum station spacing, finally, designed all the other cooperation aspects such as cooperate on network transfer alleyway, transfer hinge and so on.
