公共交通网络的14个城市的迄今未开发的网络规模进行了分析，在标准化的图形表示：简单的网络地图，路线和车站的二分图，以及后者的一种模式的预测。特别注意的是相互关系和空间嵌入的运输路线。这种系统的方法揭示了丰富的行为超出了无处不在的无标度复杂网络。我们发现强有力的证据PTNs的结构是反直觉的，需要加以解释，其中一个显着的多样性在表达的典型网络特征在目前的样本城市，一个令人惊讶的几何行为相对于二维的地理嵌入和交通路线之间的意想不到的吸引力。一个简单的模型，根据这些观察重现了许多已确定的PTN属性，通过不断增长的网络有吸引力的自我回避行走。
Public transport networks of fourteen cities of so far unexplored network size are analyzed in standardized graph representations: the simple graph of the network map, the bipartite graph of routes and stations, and both one mode projections of the latter. Special attention is paid to the inter-relations and spatial embedding of transport routes. This systematic approach reveals rich behavior beyond that of the ubiquitous scale-free complex network. We find strong evidence for structures in PTNs that are counter-intuitive and need to be explained, among these a pronounced diversity in the expression of typical network characteristics within the present sample of cities, a surprising geometrical behavior with respect to the two-dimensional geographical embedding and an unexpected attraction between transport routes. A simple model based on these observations reproduces many of the identified PTN properties by growing networks of attractive self-avoiding walks.
