Abstract
According to the present invention, vehicle riding information is provided that alleviates problems such as not being able to distinguish between the buses heading to different destinations when the buses stop at only a little time difference, or not being able to know whether the bus will stop at the desired destination or not and other difficulties in recognizing the bus to ride on, enabling the user to easily check the bus and then ride on the bus. This can be achieved by querying the information center about the planned ride-on bus stop and the planned ride-off bus stop, or the bus riding information, storing the “bus identifying information” of the bus specified by the information center while the bus riding information is in the portable terminal, comparing the “bus identifying information” of the route bus and the stored “bus identifying information” when getting on the route bus, and notifying the user of the comparison result. Thus it becomes possible to check whether the route bus is the desired bus or not.
