Provided is a vehicle operation system including a first operation management server and a second operation management server. The first operation management server calculates a running route to the destination, a border point, and a scheduled arrival time at which the first vehicle is to arrive at the border point, and informs the second operation management server of these. Further, the first operation management server sends an operation instruction to the first vehicle to instruct it to run from the current position to the border point. The second operation management server sends an operation signal to a second vehicle to instruct it to arrive at the border point by the informed scheduled arrival time, and then to run from the border point to the destination after the user transfers from the first vehicle to the second vehicle at the border point.
