Rail transit is the main part on Expo passenger organizing. It plans to attract about 50% passengers. The relationship between rail transit and Expo entrances is very important. It is very significant to think about and take advantage of MRT's accessibility during spatial planning on urban mega-event such as Expo. Firstly, this paper proposes a hypothesis of how rail transit accessibility effects the selection of Expo entrances. Passengers will choose such entrances that have higher rail transit accessibility. Secondly, through the systematic analysis of the relationship between rail transit accessibility and the number of imported passenger, this paper establishes the model of entrance location potential based on rail transit accessibility. It argues that the entrances location potential depends on entrances' scale and the level of rail transit accessibility. Rail transit accessibility is confirmed by the nodes connection of rail station, distance impedance between nodes and rail capacity. At last, through the correlation analysis between the number of imported passenger and relative entrance location potential of every entrance, this paper concerns how rail transit accessibility affects the selection of Expo entrances and the results of the effect.
