Abstract The topological structure of urban rail transit network directly determines the degree of difficulty of passenger transfer in the transit system. Specific methods are proposed to establish a dual-topology map for an urban rail transit network. Then, the matrix is used for describing the connection relationships between transit lines within a network. Accordingly, a case study is carried out for the rail network in Beijing. Based on the matrix description, some issues are found out in transit accessibility and transfer convenience of Beijing’s rail transit network. Finally, several suggestions are provided for the planning of urban rail transit networks that would assure convenience for transfer passengers.
