The equity of public transportation resource allocation is critical in promoting people-oriented social sustainable development and equalization of urban public services. Taking the main urban area of Guangzhou with a dense population of elderly and young people as an example, this study applies methods such as the Gini Coefficient, improved potential model, and bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis to ex-plore the equity of public transportation resource allocation for the elderly and young groups at both over-all and partial levels. The results indicate an unfair state of the overall allocation of public transportation re-sources in the main urban area of Guangzhou. Grid analysis units with good accessibility are mostly distrib-uted along urban rail transit lines and in sparsely populated areas such as Huangpu and Panyu Districts. From the perspective of supply-demand balance of public transportation for children, areas with high de-mand and low supply are mainly located in Tianhe District, Baiyun District, and the urban villages and resi-dential areas of Huangpu District. For the elderly, high-demand and low-supply areas are concentrated in Liwan District and Haizhu District. Finally, three optimization strategies are proposed: balanced regional allocation of public transportation resources, optimization of public transportation systems, and improve-ment of public transportation services friendly for the elderly and young groups.
