This　study　aims　to　provide　a　scientific　basis　for　the　optimization　of　the　Beijing-Hebei　bus　network　layout　in　the　future　and　ideas　for　subsequent　intercity　bus　line　planning　research.　Firstly,　the　data　of　Beijing-Hebei　inter-city　bus　lines　were　inquired,　the　length　of　long-distance　bus　lines　was　determined.　The　comparing　analysis　between　long-distance　bus　lines　and　conventional　bus　lines　covered　four　aspects.　Five　lines　in　different　directions　were　selected.　Then,　based　on　the　processed　smart　card　data,　long-distance　bus　travel　demand　was　analyzed　from　departure　time,　travel　time,　frequency,　distance　and　OD　distribution.　The　results　were　visualized　using　heatmaps.　The　results　show　that　travel　demand　is　concentrated　in　the　morning　and　evening　peak　periods　and　the　passenger　flow　has　obvious　tidal　characteristics.　OD　pairs　are　mainly　concentrated　in　residential　areas　in　Hebei　or　connected　to　subway　station　in　Beijing.　With　the　development　of　urban　agglomeration,　the　travel　demand　will　further　increase.　©　2022　Proceedings　of　the　26th　International　Conference　of　Hong　Kong　Society　for　Transportation　Studies,　HKSTS　2022.　All　Rights　reserved.
