The invention belongs to the technical field of information, and relates to a method of evaluating a public transport network by using public transport archives. The method comprises specific steps: public transport network data are collected, public transport network nodes and strengths of the nodes are drawn, a node strength value statistical distribution table is drawn, a core site and a node with a weak node strength in the public transport network are found out, the number of sites directly connected with any site is calculated, clustering coefficients are calculated, a clustering coefficient distribution table for the public transport network is drawn, a point with a weak clustering coefficient is found out, a node betweenness at each site is calculated, bottleneck sites in the public transport network of the city are found out, the current situation of the urban rail transit is analyzed to screen sites with strong competition for public transport sites, and the transport situation is finally adjusted correspondingly according to an evaluation result. In comparison with the prior art, the archive data can be acquired conveniently, the analysis method is scientific and reliable, the public transport efficiency and the utilization rate can be improved thoroughly, the application environment is friendly, and the market prospect is wide.
