We conjecture that the evolution process with self-avoiding random walks is the origin for the properties of urban ground bus-transport networks (BTN). In order to verify our conjecture, a toy model, which simulates the growth of urban bus-transport systems, is proposed after empirical investigation on the BTNs of four major cities in China. In current empirical and simulation research, our method combining weight and geographical topology of the BTN together allows us to study the coupling relations among the BTN's weighted quantities and underlying topological structure. Finally, the simulating results reveal that the model can reproduce most phenomena observed in real-life urban ground BTNs.

The paper presents a detailed analysis of the market development stages of public transport bus services. Establishment of a new management model on the urban ground public transport entails a need to create a competitive market, through effective distribution of the city route network. As part of this goal we propose the route grouping method based on weighted average profitability and investigate some Moscow route network. The analysis and classification of these routes can determine the degree of variation in the route profitability. Drawing on the data obtained, we offer certain conclusions concerning the feasibility of a more detailed diversification of route portfolio followed by its further distribution among passenger carriers on regular urban bus routes.
