Freight transport based on public transport is an indication of integration of passenger and freight transportation. Relative problem and practical applications of freight transport based on public transit were studied and four operating modes of freight transport by rail were summarized in this paper. Additionally, parcel transport capacity of a single subway line in different modes and parcels demand in main urban areas were estimated. For freight transport through subway network, the appropriate operating modes of freight transport under three different demand scenarios were analyzed as well, and corresponding environmental benefits under these three modes were evaluated separately. The result shows that using the subway to transport goods can efficiently reduce carbon emissions by 20–50%. Furthermore, when the demand is low and dispersed, the trolley and roller container can be used to load the goods. When the demand is relatively high or when dispersed demand can be merged, the single freight train or mixed train with passengers and freight in different carriages need to be used.
