AI overview
A passenger is a person who travels in a vehicle—such as a car, train, plane, or boat—without being responsible for operating it or getting it to its destination. The term applies to anyone riding along in any method of transportation, from bicycles to airliners, as long as they're not the operator or a crew member.

Crew members (if any), as well as the driver or pilot of the vehicle, are usually not considered to be passengers. For example, a flight attendant on an airline would not be considered a passenger while on duty and the same with those working in the kitchen or restaurant on board a ship as well as cleaning staff, 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.
