Transport is a basic industry of the national economy, and is very important for a country to improve economic efficiency and quality. Since reform and opening up, China's railways, highways, aviation, water-transport and pipeline transport infrastructure achievements were obvious to all, and initially formed a comprehensive transportation network, but its development is uneven and the transport structure is not quite rational; there is still a wide gap between comprehensive transportation system and the target reasonable division of labour, complement each other, organic convergence, highly efficient operation and sustainable development. In recent years, through the country's macro-control and substantial reforms, comprehensive transportation system has greatly developed, but in the last year of freezing rain and snow disaster, Wenchuan earthquake and other disaster tests, the comprehensive transportation system once again revealed many problems. Now, faced with the global financial triggered by the US sub-prime and the transport market weakness, how does the integrated transport look for opportunities under the crisis and make a steady development? In this paper, taking the economic of the transportation market as an entry point, the author analyzes and discusses the status of China's current integrated transport, and then proposes some coping strategies on the development of the comprehensive transportation system.
