A taxi customer requests a taxi dispatch using a mobile phone. A control center acquires the request and authenticates the telephone number by an incoming call log thereof, and then sends an e-mail with a URL to the e-mail address of the taxi customer. The taxi customer accesses the URL and inputs dispatch conditions, and these dispatch conditions are distributed to a plurality of taxi drivers. The control center selects the optimal taxi based on the offer or bid from the taxi drivers that satisfies the dispatch conditions. The taxi customer is notified of the selection, and the taxi driver and the taxi company are also automatically notified that a selection was made. Such an arrangement enables a taxi to be automatically dispatched without the need for a telephone conversation to the taxi customer who has specified the dispatch conditions. The taxi customer can therefore reliably take a taxi with the desired conditions.
