The Evolvement of Rail Transit Network Structure and Impact on Travel Characteristics: A Case Study of Wuhan

The expansion of the rail transit network has a positive impact on travel characteristics under spatial and temporal constraints by changing accessibility. However, few empirical studies have examined the longitudinal evolution of the impact of accessibility and travel characteristics. In this paper...
