Abstract

At present, with the advancement of China’s urbanization construction process, China’s urbanization rate has gradually increased in recent years, and the population in the suburbs and surrounding towns and rural areas continue to pour into large cities, which inevitably leads to a series of social problems in the process of China’s urban economic development. In the process of population gathering in large cities, traffic problems have a great impact on urban workers. With the increase of urban population and the rising stock of private cars, the efficiency of ground transportation continues to decline; the population aggregation in big cities, the poor travel experience of public transport system in the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays, and the long commuting time and distance of workers restrict the long-term development of large cities in China to a certain extent. This paper studies the coordination between ground public transport and rail transit in Beijing with reference to the coordination of the development of ground public transport and rail transit. Finally, based on these problems, this paper puts forward some suggestions for the long-term coordinated development of public transport in Beijing.
