A deep understanding of Chinese railway passenger service network complexity becomes important in these days when a more concerted comprehensive transportation system is under construction in the mainland China. The complexity of Chinese railway passenger service network is fully analyzed by comparison with some other network industries and other transportation modes. The conclusion is that the geographic distribution and the inherent need of perfect coordination of network elements make up the cause of its complexity, and that the network topology and its evolvement under specific travel behavior, along with system reliability, are the focus in future research.
