Abstract
An information processing apparatus autonomously determines a pick-up location for an on-demand bus. The information processing apparatus has a controller configured to determine a first location that is not predicted to be crowded with people as the pick-up location based on a user's preferred pick-up location and first information related to locations within the operation area of the on-demand bus that are predicted to be crowded with people. The controller of the information processing apparatus selects the first location thus determined as the pick-up location for the on-demand bus.
