Multi-layer transportation network model with detailed flow description. (a) Four layers of inter-city transportation (Air, Bus, Rail, Sail) between Chinese prefectural administrations. (b) Bi-partite categorization of network nodes (central cities vs. peripheral cities). (c) Cross-infection during inter-city travel due to path overlap. (d) Inbound/outbound flow during transit.
