Passenger

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Passenger

A passenger is a person who travels in a vehicle, such as a car, bus, train, ship, airplane, or elevator, without participating in its operation. Passengers are people who are carried by the vehicle from one place to another. The practice of traveling as a passenger is known as passenger transport.

History

The concept of a passenger has existed since the earliest forms of transport. Humans have been passengers on animals, in carts, on ships, and in other forms of transportation for thousands of years. The first recorded use of the term "passenger" to describe a person traveling in a vehicle was in the 14th century.

Types of passengers

There are several types of passengers, including:

  • Commuters: These are passengers who regularly travel between two locations, such as home and work. They often use public transportation systems like buses and trains.
  • Tourists: These are passengers who are traveling for pleasure. They may use a variety of transportation methods, including cars, buses, trains, ships, and airplanes.
  • Business travelers: These are passengers who are traveling for work purposes. They often use airplanes and trains.

Rights and responsibilities

Passengers have certain rights and responsibilities when they travel. These can vary depending on the mode of transportation and the country in which they are traveling. For example, passengers on airplanes have the right to be treated fairly and respectfully by the airline. They also have the responsibility to follow the airline's safety instructions.
