First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A use management system for a vehicle, comprising:
a vehicle on which a user rides;
a storage medium that can store identification information, contract information that is associated with the identification information and includes a predetermined route, and movement information regarding the vehicle, the movement information including out-of-condition time measured when the vehicle has deviated from the predetermined route, wherein the storage medium is a magnetic commuter pass, an IC card commuter pass, or a user terminal belonging to a user; and
an information processing apparatus comprising a processor circuit,
wherein the vehicle
includes a first reader/writer for acquiring information from the storage medium and records information onto the storage medium,
starts recording the movement information regarding the vehicle upon the identification information being acquired by the first reader/writer at a first point in time at which a use of the vehicle is started,
records the out-of-condition time when the vehicle deviates from the predetermined route,
discards the out-of-condition time recorded when the vehicle deviated from the predetermined route in a case where the vehicle stops at a predetermined position and a predetermined period of time has elapsed at the predetermined position, and
writes the movement information onto the storage medium using the first reader/writer upon the identification information being acquired by the first reader/writer at a second point in time at which the use of the vehicle is ended, and

the information processing apparatus comprising the processor circuit
includes a second reader/writer for acquiring information from the storage medium and records information onto the storage medium, and
charges an additional fee to a user that is associated with the identification information, based on the out-of-condition time, upon acquiring the movement information from the storage medium; and

wherein
the storage medium includes alternative route information that indicates a route of an alternative transportation system for the predetermined route; and
the information processing apparatus does not charge an additional fee to the user for the route of the alternative transport system indicated by the alternative route information.

2. The use management system according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is an automatic ticket gate.
