Abstract

To reduce traffic jam and pollution emissions, public transportation has been developing in recent years worldwide. There already have metro, bus rapid transit (BRT), and CBS (CBS) in Zhengzhou city. To grasp the transit performance deeply, vehicle running GPS data could be obtained in the Zhengzhou Traffic Information Center. Five different types of transit were compared from line distance, station distance, travel speed, and spot speed. Then, the traffic data of BRT and CBS were analyzed from different perspectives. Last proposed the corresponding recommendations for the Zhengzhou city.
