Secondly, the knowledge of urban planning and transit operation management is used for this research project. Finally, the successful development experience and trend of Hong Kong's transit system is summarized. The following points are summarized. (1) Transit service is scattered from city center to metropolitan area; (2) transit service is expanded from road to rail; (3) the range of transit service is promoted from network extension to service promotion; (4) legal means of transit is from administrative intervention to legal protection; (5) social influence is changed from environment pollution to environment friendly. The result shows that giving priority to develop the mass transit is the only solution.
