Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Public transport mode shares have declined precipitously in many cities across China during the past 15 years. In some urban areas, municipal governments must provide operating subsidies to state-owned bus operators. Shanghai, Beijing, and other cities have initiated public transport reform over the past 5-10 years. This article reviews the factors underlying this trend, the goals and strategies of public transport reform, and challenges for further public transport reform in China.
