Abstract
Drawing on the basis of the relevant literature, the paper constructs the index system for the analysis of urban rail transit reasonable scale. On the data of 14 typical cities in the world and domestic urban respectively, fitting the rational lower limit and upper limit scale model of Beijing urban rail transit. Based on multivariate analysis and comprehensive model, the conclusion is: contrast the developed cities of the world, according to the actual situation in Beijing, the current scale of Beijing urban rail transit is inadequate, the planned scale for 2015 is more reasonable. After 2015, Beijing’s urban rail transit still has some room for development.
