Abstract
The transport network structure plays a crucial role in transport dynamics. To better understand the property of the bus network in big city and reasonably configure the bus lines and transfers, this paper seeks to take the bus network of Beijing as an example and mainly use space L and space P to analyze the network topology properties. The approach is applied to all the bus lines in Beijing which includes 722 lines and 5421 bus station. In the first phase of the approach, space L is used. The results show that the bus network of Beijing is a scale-free network and the degree of more than 99 percent of nodes is lower than 10. The results also show that the network is an assortative network with 46 communities. In a second phase, space P is used to analyze the property of transfer. The results show that the average transfer time of Beijing bus network which is 1.88 and 99.8 percent of arbitrary two pair nodes is reachable within 4 transfers.

The results show that the average transfer time of Beijing bus network which is 1.88 and 99.8 percent of arbitrary two pair nodes is reachable within 4 transfers
Complex networks have been successfully used in many real complex systems since the researches of small-world networks and scale-free networks [1, 2]
We investigate the Beijing bus network (BBN) with 722 lines and 5421 nodes
Summary
Complex networks have been successfully used in many real complex systems since the researches of small-world networks and scale-free networks [1, 2]. Many real complex systems have been well studied which include the actor network [1,2,3], WWW [2, 4], protein networks [5], and power grid [1, 3]. As an important part of urban transport systems and a trip mode to alleviate the traffic congestion, bus network has been studied by an increasingly large number of researchers. Soh et al contribute a complex weighted network analysis of travel routes on the Singapore rail and bus transportation systems [13].
