Abstract
Bus rapid transit system in the application of China´s urban transportation is in the ascendant. With the technical advantages of rail transportation, it´s economical, beneficial and having less impact on the environment. And the significance of sustainable development determines its high research value. This article establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system of sustainable development, using AHP to determine the target indicator system and improving entropy proportion means, experts scoring, qualitative and quantitative analysis to evaluate this new mode of urban transportation and its sustainable development. This article innovatively introduced the application of entropy right method in the choosing of urban transport mode on its sustainable development. To verify the reliability and simplicity of the method through empirical analysis, we have concluded that bus rapid transit system is relative superior.
