About

The word 乘客 is formed by combining two characters: 乘, which conveys the idea of riding or traveling by means of a vehicle or conveyance, and 客, which means a guest, visitor, or traveler. Together, they conceptually merge to designate the person who is the "riding traveler" or the guest being conveyed, hence forming the meaning of "passenger".
