The polycentric urban structure is a way to solve many problems faced by a single big city, such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, resource shortage and so on. Meanwhile, workers who take public transportation are importantly representative of the whole population of a city. Currently, there is limited research estimating and quantitatively analyzing the impact of polycentric urban structure on morning commute. This research fills this blank by analyzing the current utilization of morning bus among workers in the multi-center cluster city of Beijing. The study uses multiple linear regression to check the fairness of commuting. The result shows that bus commute is relatively equitable in terms of commuting time and distance, but not in terms of bus station density. However, it’s interested that commuting time is less equitable than commuting distance.
