 　　Generally, the public transportation on transportation corridors have the highest hitched rate, because the headway is very concentrated and the routes through the place of stream of people, it easily attracts passenger trips. Therefore, this kind of transportation corridor routes mainly offer the service of "line", if it would be extended to the service of "plane", it must depend on other lesser capacity routes or assisted feeder routes, however, for the feeder problems, the public don't feel convenience when they take the public transportation, the cause includes that route is indirect, too much less the headways and too many stops and so on. Furthermore, by unprosperous economic, the taxi (para-transit) hitched rate decreases year by year, the market supply is much larger than the market demand. If the taxi resource could be integrated, for the assisted use for transit feeder system, it will attract potential transit users to increase the ridership of public transportation. This resource is following the previous literature, try to develop the missioned taxipooling mode and give it the mission of collect random feeder demand. Furthermore, try to integrate the taxi resource to feeder service, and contribute the feeder service of taxipooling.
　　The paper basically uses the connection of the mission taxipooling; the operation cost and the user cost for the object function; the hail station, the vehicle numbers, total passenger waiting time and total in-vehicle time for related variables, and then analyzed the effect for taxipooling feeder dispatch. In the taxipooling feeder range, to use two hails and four hails compare each other’s effect. Finally, effect of four hails is better than two.
