The touch panel 16 is composed of a station button input section 16a and a station button display section 16b. A guidance display unit 21 is connected to the guidance control unit 18, and a ticket issuing unit 23 is connected to the magnetic encoding unit 20 via a printing control unit 22 that controls printing on the printed surface.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the external appearance of the boarding machine will be described. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 31 is a housing of the boarding machine. The touch panel 1 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 31.
6 is provided, and a charge, a card input port 32, and a change / boarding exit 33 are provided on the left side thereof.

Further, a guide display portion 21 is provided upright on the rear end portion of the upper surface of the casing. Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as above will be described. First,
The station button input unit 16a is operated to input the getting-off station (step S1). In this way, by pressing the station button of the destination, the boarding station and the alighting station are determined.

Then, the corresponding station data is read from the station data file 13 from the pushed station button. Next, from the boarding station and the alighting station, the route data is recorded from the route data file 14.
Data is read (step S2).

Then, the boarding route is determined and calculated based on the station data and the route data (step S3). here,
When there are a plurality of routes from the boarding station to the alighting station, the touch panel 16 may be selected or the shortest route may be automatically calculated. The route data determined in step S3 described above is stored in the storage unit 17.
