How it's used
While technically correct, this term sounds slightly old fashioned or specific to certain contexts like taxi or minibus operations. Most modern signage and formal announcements prefer 乘客. Using it in casual speech is perfectly acceptable, but you will notice it appearing less frequently in written media.
