A demand responsive operation system includes: a user terminal; an on-demand vehicle that operates based on a use request from the user terminal; and an operation management center that manages an operation of the on-demand vehicle. The operation management center includes a use receiver and an operation plan generator. The use receiver receives the use request from the user terminal. The operation plan generator generates an operation plan within a permissible range of a reference operation schedule based on the reference operation schedule and the use request received by the use receiver, the reference operation schedule having an operation section, a departure place departure time and a final destination arrival time preset, and provides the generated operation plan to the on-demand vehicle and the user terminal. The user terminal presents this operation plan to a user, and the on-demand vehicle operates according to this operation plan.
