摘要:城市公共交通是城市生活的动脉，只有其运行平稳，健康发展，才能使城市蓬勃发展。随着中国经济和社会的发展，城市规模的逐步扩大，城市交通客流量日渐增多，城市发展和公共交通之间的冲突越来越多。近年来，虽然我国在公共交通的发展方面已取得较大进展，但与发达国家相比，仍然是有相当大的差距。常州公交作为全国公交发展的楷模，以其为例来探索城市公共交通发展的有效途径，具有较强的实效性。探究常州市公共交通在发展过程中存在的问题及其原因，为其未来的公共交通发展途径提出相应的建议，不仅可以为常州市公共交通的持续，健康，科学发展提供指导，同时也为其他城市公共交通的发展提供参考借鉴。针对我国城市公共交通发展现状，结合政府财政能力和土地资源状况，我国发展城市公共交通应以推广快速公交系统为主。政府应在城市公共交通发展中发挥主导作用，实现安全高效的公交服务，倡导公共交通的绿色发展。
