Abstract
In recent years, extreme weather, geological disasters, infectious diseases and other emergencies have put forward higher requirements for the normal functioning of cities. Large cities with high population density and high construction intensity are facing the dual pressure of disaster emergency support and economic production guarantee. As the carrier of most traffic activities, the public transportation system has the characteristics of closed space, high crowd density and high mobility of personnel, thus is easy to become a high-risk and disaster-stricken area in sudden disasters. This paper analyzes the development trend of individual transportation and public transportation, taking into account the characteristics of the two travel modes, the travel characteristics of large cities, the impact of sudden disasters on public travel, and the value orientation of policy strategies. This paper proposes that ensuring the sustainability of public transportation capacity is an inevitable choice in the face of travel demand, ensuring the safety and controllability of public transportation is the basis for resuming work and production after sudden disasters, and the value orientation of public transportation plays an important role in restoring normal urban life after disasters. At the same time, combined with the existing public transportation system and the attempt of new public transport products, the possible directions for the strengthening and development of public transport in the future are proposed.
