Abstract
With the development of urban economy, the traffic problems of urban areas have become increasingly severe. Urban public transit has become important means to deal with the contradiction between the supply and demand of urban traffic. It plays an important role in adjusting urban transport structure. But recently, the development has been slowed down because of many problems, such as low speed, low level of service. Therefore, the bus transit cannot develop quickly and smoothly. How to attract more people to choose public transit is the key to solving the urban traffic problems and discouraging the use of privately vehicles to reduce the motorization. Based on the analysis of the challenge of existing public transit system, this paper presents the targets for development, integrated modes and integrated measures of public transit system in order to smoothly join them and achieve convenient transfer among the other modes of transportation.
