Existing　traffic　hubs　have　shown　to　exert　significant　effects　upon　the　alleviation　of　traffic　congestion　in　Beijing　in　recent　years.　However,　due　to　their　defects　in　capacity,　efficiency,　comfort　and　other　aspects,　the　attractiveness　of　public　transport　to　the　public　is　at　a　competitive　disadvantage　to　private　cars.　It　is　still　a　problem　when　evaluating　and　increasing　the　transfer　performance　of　traffic　hubs　efficiently.　This　paper　presents　a　typical　evaluation　indicator　system.　The　specific　indicators　include:　transport　capacity　matching　degree,　bypassing　degree,　average　walking　distance,　conflicts　safety,　transfer　comfort,　etc.　Based　on　the　calculating　method　of　each　selected　indicator,　field　investigations　on　Xidan　station,　Jianguomen　station,　and　Guomao　station　of　Beijing　subway　line　1　were　conducted　to　obtain　the　required　basic　data.　The　Principal　Component　Analysis　was　used　later　to　evaluate　these　hubs.　According　to　the　analysis　result,　advantages　and　disadvantages　of　each　station　were　discussed　together　with　recommendations.　©　2011　ASCE.
