Taxi traffic has always been regarded as a supplement to public transportation. However, this may be in part due to previous studies focusing on independent research of taxi and bus passenger flow. Research around the relationship between taxi and bus passenger flow has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Taxi passenger hotspots not only provide real-time understanding of urban traffic hotspots, but also guide taxi drivers and enable taxi companies to make effective dispatches. Taxi passenger hotspots tend to occur in areas where demand for transportation is high and in areas of intensive crowding. Bus passengers' IC card data can reflect real-time traffic demand within the city. This study used Xiamen Island taxi GPS trajectory data and public transportation system data, along with the kernel density estimation method and geographic weighted regression (GWR) model to analyze the OD (Origin-Destination) passenger flow in both morning and evening peak travel times. Results showed a significant spatial heterogeneity in the kernel density value of the taxi passenger O. However, within the same area, the impact of bus passenger O and bus passenger D on the taxi passenger O was found to be opposite; in various regions, the negative impact of bus passenger O on the taxi passenger O in areas with complex urban functional types, bus passenger O had a positive impact on the taxi O at a single function area, while the bus passenger D was just the opposite. Compared to the ordinary least squares (OLS) model, GWR provided a much better fit (with the goodness of fit increasing from 0.13 and 0.11 to 0.59 and 0.53 in the morning and evening peak hours, respectively). Results of this study could provide the basis to forecast the number of taxi passengers.
