With the approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting Deepening Reform of Urban Public Transport Enterprises” in order to implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, promote the deepening reform of public transport enterprises, enhance urban public transportation security capabilities and service levels, and better meet the basic travel needs of the masses. Among them, it was mentioned that urban public transportation should be developed according to local conditions. Adapting to new urbanization and changing trends in public travel structures, one city, one policy determines the development model of urban public transportation. Large, megacities and large cities with rail transit networks are speeding up the construction of public transportation systems with urban rail transit as the backbone and based on urban public transportation, giving full play to the main role of public transportation in urban motorized travel. Large cities without rail transit networks actively build urban bus networks with fast branch micro-hierarchical layout and functional connections, and play an important role in morning and evening peak commuting. Other large cities and small to medium cities that have not built and operated rail transit give full play to the basic travel guarantee role of urban public transportation for the elderly and low-income groups. Encourage the construction of commuter bus corridors in the metropolitan area and promote the integrated development of urban and rural public transportation.
