Integrated Operation of Trunk Routes and Branches of Rural Transit
Summary. Rural transit systems in China operate inefficiently when trunk and branch routes function separately. This paper proposes integrated operation where trunk routes function like urban transit while minibuses serve branch routes with flexible scheduling. Branch routes should connect to adjacent trunk routes, and multiple routes across neighboring towns should coordinate to maximize vehicle capacity and passenger flow. A case study in Pukou district demonstrates the practical benefits of this integrated approach.
