Experience in Urban Transportation Transition

As the development of transportation in China continues, transit is a growing need. Cities in China are experiencing a critical period of developmental pattern transition, especially large cities. Shanghai and Beijing, as the most developed cities in China, have carried out useful explorations in the transition path. However, compared with those developed cities which have completed the course of transition, these Chinese cities are still at the initial stage. Thus, experience can be learned from these cities, both positive and negative. In this paper, research will be conducted in a comparative perspective. System operating indexes will be the most important. After analyzing the changes of several important indexes in the past fifty to hundred years, the transition process of each city can be concluded. All the cities mentioned have different features from each other. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of each developmental pattern are offered.
