Abstract： As medium cities bear sharp differences with mega cities in spatial structure, socio-economic develop-ment level and transportation characteristics, it is necessary to analyze the paths and strategies of developing transit metropolis for medium cities from the perspectives of transit and metropolis. In terms of the former, this paper pro-poses an alternative statistical method for the mode share of public transit in these cities. In planning, measures should be taken to allow the regular buses to make timely adjustment according to the high passenger flow trend of BRT to meet residents’ travel needs, to improve the travelling environment of bike sharing system, and optimize the layout of rental stations. As for the latter, the paper emphasizes the preparation of regulatory detailed planning for the routes along BRT and the formation of spatial form which is helpful to public transit competitiveness in com-mercial centers, residential areas and historical blocks. Finally, the paper elaborates the requirements for improving intelligent transit services using Internet technologies. DOI: 10.13813/j.cn11-5141/u.2018.0103-en
