From Hipparcos proper motions, we have analyzed the local kinematics of the Milky Way from the young 0-B5 stars, classical Cepheids, and the late-type K-M giants. Comparing the derived results, the kinematical discrepancies between each subset of stars have been analyzed, and the possible reasons for the kinematical differences have been discussed.
