Each taxi detects, by a GPS terminal mounted thereon, its present location using information sent from a GPS satellite and sends to a center equipment the present location and information on a destination specified by a customer. The center equipment finds an optimal route, a charge for the route, and the like, according to the information on the present location and the destination, received via the Internet. The equipment then transmits the optimal route, charge, and the like to the taxi. The center equipment which controls taxis in a centralized manner has a function to calculate an optimal route from the present location to the destination. This minimizes the cost for a taxi company and simplifies administration of taxis.
