• determine, on a basis of a predicted travel route of each of a transfer source vehicle and a transfer destination vehicle, whether or not a predetermined transfer condition is established, the predetermined transfer condition being for urging a target user sharing a ride in the transfer source vehicle with another user with a different destination to transfer from the transfer source vehicle to the transfer destination vehicle during movement;
• and
