Development of metropolitan area in China has attracted a lot of attention. At this stage, planning of transportation terminals focuses on cities, rather than metropolitan area. In order to achieve the goal of transport integration, it is crucial to propose an optimal plan of transportation terminals in metropolitan area. This paper proposes a coherent set of method to optimize transportation terminals in metropolitan area, including classification of cities and planning of transportation terminals. Classification of cities is based on hierarchical clustering method, and planning of transportation terminals is based on classification standards of the multimodal transportation terminal. Then a case study in Jingjinji metropolitan area has been verified. This method has advantages of less data, simplicity and compatibility of existing terminals. On the basis of exiting and planning terminals, the integrated transit system can be built.
