This research focuses on developing a scientific methodology to evaluate integrated service planning for bus and metro services in Beijing. One of the five newly built metro lines opened in Beijing in 2010, the Daxing Line, was selected as a demonstration metro corridor for this methodology. A detailed public transport passenger trip matrix is developed using data from the Beijing public transport IC card data. Building on this data, different bus service patterns were evaluated using a pivot point demand model and PT model. In the final section of the paper, the schemes are evaluated using a set of 6 weighted indicators to decide on an optimal outcome. The bulk of the recommended service planning adjustments recommended by the study are currently being implemented in the corridor. The study concludes that the proposed approach is practical and can provide meaningful input to service planning in multi modal corridors in Chinese cities. Given the rapidly expanding metro networks in many Chinese cities, there is a large potential for replication of the approach described in the paper.
