Maximum load factor during peak time (B2)Sum of the number of people staying in high one-way and high section during peak hours divided by sum of the hourly capacity-

Network density (B5)The sum of the lengths of all lines of the urban rail transit network divided by the area covered by the urban rail transit networkkm/km2+
Social benefit (A2)GDP growth rate (B6)(Annual regional GDP after operation-annual regional GDP when the project is not constructed)/Annual regional GDP when the project is not constructed × 100%, the annual regional GDP data when the project is not under construction use the data of the year before the subway opened%+
Energy-saving and emission reduction benefits (B7)Energy-saving and emission reduction benefits are the product of energy-saving and emission reduction benefits per passenger volume and passenger turnover [21]. The benefits of energy-saving and emission reduction per passenger volume are regarded as a fixed value, so energy-saving and emission reduction benefits can be represented by network energy-saving and emission reduction benefits.Ten thousand people+
The increase in housing prices along urban rail transit lines (B8)(Annual regional average house price after operation−annual regional average house price when the project is not constructed)/annual regional average house price when the project is not under construction × 100%, the annual regional average housing price data when the project is not under construction is selected from the data of the year before the subway opened%+
Replacement of conventional public transport facilities investment benefits (B9)The investment benefit of replacing conventional public transit facilities is proportional to the benefit of replacing public transit [21] and can be replaced by public transit benefit indexTen thousand people+
