This article is about passengers in commercial transportation; for other uses see
Passenger (disambiguation) A passenger is a term broadly used to describe any person who travels in a
vehicle, but bears little or no responsibility for the tasks required for that vehicle to arrive at its destination.There are two common contexts in which the term is used:The first is for persons transported in
automobiles or
vans, irrespective of whether they have paid for the transportation.The second is for persons who pay to be transported in
common carriers, including commercial vehicles and vessels such as
buses,
trains,
airplanes, and
ships. For example, a
flight attendant on an airline or a
cruise ship employee aboard such a ship would not be considered a "passenger" while aboard the vessel, but an employee riding in a company car being driven by another person would be considered a passenger, even if the car was being driven on company business.
