The complex properties of an urban public transport network rise from its intrinsic evolutional mechanism. Three models are established which are, respectively, a stop network, transfer and line network. An analysis the basic characteristics these - including degree distribution, average path length clustering coefficient is completed. Moreover, this paper puts forward method for searching Hub node. This not only combines global efficiency local efficiency, but also provides quantitative index how to improve robustness fragility. Finally, looks at transportation Guilin City confirms effectiveness practicability method.
