A platoon traffic system includes a plurality of platoons including vehicles 111 to 113 and 121 to 125 on and from which passengers board and exit, and an operation management apparatus 101 setting an operation schedule including assignment of the vehicles 111 to 113 and 121 to 125 to the plurality of platoons and managing operation of the plurality of platoons. The vehicles 111 to 113 and 121 to 125 in each of the platoons integrally operate in accordance with the operation schedule along a track including boarding and exiting points where passengers board and exit the vehicles 111 to 113 and 121 to 125, and addition and reduction of vehicles belonging to the platoon are enabled. The operation management apparatus 101 accepts a boarding request for the vehicles, the request specifying the boarding and exiting points, and changes the operation schedule to reassign the vehicles belonging to the plurality of platoons, among the platoons on a basis of the boarding request and numbers of passengers allowed to board the vehicles 111 to 113 and 121 to 125.
