Abstract
The urban passenger transport system plays a key role in providing services for passengers. By combining a science system with complex network theory, we analyze the relationship among various actors of the urban passenger transport system, which is a network model consisting of managers, companies, passengers, and their interactions. The structural and dynamic property of the urban passenger transport system is described. Through analyzing the network's nodes and structural edges, the network dynamic evolution model can be established. The Harbin taxi passenger service market system was studied as an example to simulate and validate a proposed model, which reflects the objective laws of the urban passenger transport system and provides a new way to investigate the urban passenger transport system.
