In this research, we examined the introduction of “monthly taxi commuter pass” that can be used monthly in Akita City, Akita Prefecture. The conditions for purchasing a commuter pass are set to the applicable range, time, waiting time, and purchase price. As a result, it was found that the purchase intention was related to the purchase price. If you sell a monthly taxi commuter pass for a usage range of 2 km, a usage time of 6 hours (10:00 to 16:00), a waiting time of 30 minutes, and a monthly charge of 20,000 yen, the estimated percentage of purchasers will be 25.8%. We also estimated the number of taxis required by introducing measures. It was shown that if the monthly taxi commuter pass under the above conditions is introduced in an area with a target population of 30,000, the current taxi can operate 10 times a day.
