other networks such as Internet backbone and bus
networks, and studying how data on these infra-
structure operations can be adapted to better reflect
actual inter-city interactions.
Notes
(1) This hypothesis is, of course, implausible in
any of the transit cities. However, the opera-
tional logic of trains is vested in there being
round-trip. In this case, the average volumes
of boarding and alighting in a daily basis will
be roughly equal. For easy operationalization,
we adopt an equal weight for boarding passen-
gers and alighting passengers in every transit
city for a train.
(2) In the Chinese context, HSR refers to train ser-
vices with an average speed of 200 km/h or
higher, which include D category trains (high-
speed trains in conventional railways), G Cat-
egory trains (high-speed trains in high-speed
railways), and C Category trains (short in-
ter-city express trains).
(3) The YRD has various boundaries according
to different definitions and research purpos-
es. Throughout this paper, we adopt the largest
scope including Shanghai Municipality, Jiangsu
Province, Zhejiang Province and Anhui Prov-
ince, which is also in conformity with the ad-
ministrative boundary of the Shanghai Railway
Bureau.
(4) With more than 212 million monthly active us-
ers and 93 million daily active users (see http://
goo.gl/ovGvYO), Weibo is the most mainstream
social media in China.
