To provide a passenger conveyor such as an escalator and a moving sidewalk, which, even when an approach speed to an entrance of a passenger conveyor is slower than a normal walking speed due to congestion or the like, provides a conveyor travel speed correctly matched with a walking speed of a passenger.

In a passenger conveyor, when a communication unit installed at an entrance of the passenger conveyor receives walking information comprising a terminal ID and a walking speed from a communication unit of a portable terminal, a control unit allows a storage unit to hold the received walking information, and when a communication unit installed at an exit of the passenger conveyor receives the walking information comprising the terminal ID and the walking speed from the communication unit of the portable terminal, the control unit erases the walking information corresponding to the terminal ID of the received walking information from the storage unit, and the control unit controls a driving unit to provide a travel speed of the passenger conveyor corresponding to the smallest walking speed among walking speeds in the walking information held in the storage unit.
