With the the increasing number of new rail cities and the increasing abundance of public transit network, it is inevitable to transfer during the public transit trip. Transfer is not only an important part of the public transport system, but also the key link of the trip departure. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the public transit transfer behavior based on travelers' cognition along Guiyang rail line 1. Through a willingness survey of travelers' transfer behavior, the statistical analysis is made to the distribution characteristics of the number of acceptable transfer times and the acceptable transfer distance. Statistical results show that the vast majority of people are more willing to accept two or fewer transfer times and the transfer distances within 400m, so as to provide theoretical guidance for the layout of public transit stations along the new rail cities. Next, based on the statistical analysis, an ordered logit model is constructed to solve the influencing factors of the acceptable transfer distance. Research indicates that the age, gender, the difference in occupation and the level of income all have different effects on the acceptable transfer distance for travelers in public transit.
