ABSTRACT

From the perspective of Melbourne's multilayer public transport system, the status, functions and relationships of Melbourne trams, suburban railways and buses are sorted out. Taking the public transport in operation in Melbourne as an empirical research object, this paper rationally analyzes the development prospect of Melbourne's multilayer public transport in China and compares the advantages and disadvantages of Melbourne public transport system and China's public transport system. It is concluded that the network form, function and hierarchical relationship of Melbourne's public transport can better adapt to the stage and requirements of Melbourne's city development. It has the effect of optimizing the city traffic networks and complementing city planning and development and plays a role in building Melbourne's three-dimensional and complete multilayer-city transport system, easing the urban center population and alleviating city expansion. It is analogized that both Melbourne public transport and China's public transport system have the advantages of structural rail transit loop, radial multi-level railway system and complementary functions of various public transport systems, but there are differences in the same, and their respective shortcomings need to be improved.
