Over the past three decades, the urban transportation system in Beijing has been undergoing tremendous changes. Beijing has been transformed from a city dominated by nonmotorized transportation to an almost car-saturated city. To combat the ever-growing traffic gridlock, the city in recent years has been working proactively on fulfilling its long-term vision: building a transit city. This study presents the city's development of a more sustainable transportation system from a mobility culture perspective. More specifically, the focus is on these three aspects: travel demand, mobility patterns, and transportation policy.
