A composite data transmission system wherein packet switching stations adapted to transmit data of the kind for which transfer delay and periodicity do not matter and operated to detect collisions between packets in the light of alterations in the DC voltage level of packet signals and circuit switching stations adapted to transmit data of the kind requiring periodic transmission are connected to one and the same transmission line, which composite data transmission system is characterized by causing DC voltage signals of a fixed magnitude to flow with prescribed periods through the transmission line thereby enabling the packet switching stations to recognize collisions and permitting the circuit switching stations to exchange communication during the existence of the packet switching stations' recognition of collisions and permitting the packet switching stations to exchange communication during the absence of the DC voltage signals' flow.
