Rail transit takes the advantage of large volume and fast speed as the first choice for many people to travel, and the way of pedestrian transfer is the preferred way for residents of mountainous cities. Compared with plain cities, the sharing rate of pedestrian transfer in mountainous cities is higher. However, due to the large vertical elevation difference in most mountainous cities and the urban characteristics of group development, there are problems of poor connectivity of pedestrian network, inadequate interchange crossing facilities and large bypass distance in the pedestrian transfer in mountainous cities, which causes potential safety hazards and inadequate convenience for pedestrians to travel. By redefining the actual transfer distance and the planning and design scope, this paper analyses the pedestrian transfer characteristics of mountainous cities from a psychological point of view. Taking Chongqing as a typical mountainous city as an example, based on the newly issued Guidelines for Connecting Rail Transit in Chongqing, the application of the Guidelines in actual projects is analysed to prove the generalization of the Guidelines.
