Abstract High-speed train (HST) and inter-city coach (ICC) have been two important ground transportation modes for travelling between cities in China. They influence inter-city connections significantly. This study uses HST's and ICC's timetable data to construct networks; evaluates city centrality and city-pair connectivity to compare the hierarchical structures. The results show that the HST network shows linear distribution characteristics while ICC network presents regional “core-periphery” structure. Provincial administrative boundaries have an obvious constraint on the ICC network, while the HST community structure follows the railway lines' distribution. Finally, this study illustrates the spatial organization model and gives implications for regional transportation planning.
