Abstract
This paper explores quantitative evaluation criteria for service and potentials of new service from the transportation viewpoint. For this purpose, we analyze transport networks of railway, subway, and waterbus, and have revealed the following implications: (1) efficiency criterion proposed by Latora [7,8] and centrality criterion in the complex network literature can be applied as quantitative evaluation criteria for service in a transportation domain; and (2) new services are highly embedded among networks, i.e., the analyses of the combined networks have the great potential for finding new services that cannot be found by analyzing a single network.
