Urumqi is the political, economic, scientific and cultural center for Xinjiang. In recent years , following rapid economic development, the urbanization and mechanization keep quickening the step in Urumqi, which lengthening the trip distance in Urumqi city. The traffic infrastructure’s development plan and construction can not match with the urban development, like the public traffic capacity is not enough, and facilities is not complete, and the related service is low. So there is the obvious and serious conflict between the supply and demand in public transportation, the current public transportation can not fulfill the increasing requirements on daily travel of citizens. At the same time, following the increase of residents’ income, the number of motor vehicle on the road is increasing rapidly, the portion of public transportation is reduced in the daily travel, which result in issues
