Indicator attributes
Service level (A1)
Average operating service time (B1)
Length of service hours in a day
h
+
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
%
-
Departure interval (B3)
The time interval between two consecutive transport vehicles passing through a fixed position along the same direction on an operating route
min
-
Average speed (B4)
Line length divided by run time
km/h
+
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 network
km/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 index

Policy loss(A3)
Passenger travel cost indicators (B10)
Per capita ticket expenditure/per capita GDP=(average fare2250)/per capita GDP

Welfare ticket with or without (B11)
If there is a welfare ticket, take 1; if there is no welfare ticket, take 0
