This paper describes the utilization of log data accumulated from the On-demand Bus Operation. On-Demand Bus is a Demand Responsive Transit servicewhere users are transported by the vehicles after they reserve their seats, and that the vehicles will not move if there is no reservation. Log data is accumulated in the operating server when customers avail of the service. A single record of Log data consists of the passenger's status (sex/age/address/answers to questionnaire), and On-demand Bus use data (origin/destination/boarding time/reservation time/tool used in reservation). These data can be analyzed from the micro aspect focused on individual data to the macro aspect which deals with the characteristics of the populace. In looking at the micro aspect view, the recommendation service which promotesuse of the On-demand Bus and helps passengers with easy reservation is developed. In a larger scale or the macro aspect view, sensing the mobility of the population is proposed.
