摘要： In this paper, an empirical investigation is presented, which focuses on unveiling the universality of connectivity correlations in three spaces (the route space, the stop geographical space and bus-transferring space) of urban bus-transport networks (BTNs) in four major cities of China. The underlying features of the connectivity correlations are shown in two statistical ways. One is the correlation between the (weighted) average degree of all the nearest neighbouring vertices with degree $k$, ($K^w_{nn}(k)$) $K_{nn}(k)$, and $k$, and the other is the correlations between the assortativity coefficient $r$ and, respectively, the network size $N$, the network diameter $D$, the averaged clustering coefficient $C$, and the averaged distance $\lan l\ran$. The obtained results show qualitatively the same connectivity correlations of all the considered cities under all the three spaces.
