1. An information processing apparatus for prompting passengers to practice distributed boarding onto vehicles, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory;
wherein the processor is configured to acquire image information indicating a boarding status of passengers outside a preceding vehicle at a stop when it is judged that the preceding vehicle has arrived at the stop and cause a display to display notification information to prompt passengers who have not boarded the preceding vehicle to practice distributed boarding, even in the case that the preceding vehicle is not full, onto a subsequent vehicle when it is judged that the boarding status satisfies a predetermined condition based on the acquired image information, and the predetermined condition includes a first condition that a rate of decrease of passengers who have not boarded at the stop is less than a first threshold.
