How it's used
Primarily used in the context of professional drivers such as bus or taxi operators. It focuses on the action of the vehicle stopping to let people out rather than the passenger's act of getting off. It is frequently seen on traffic signs or heard in traffic reports.
Examples
You aren't allowed to drop off passengers here, walk a bit further.
Remember to watch the back of the bus when it drops off passengers at that stop.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe yourself getting off a bus, as that would be 落車. 落客 is strictly for the vehicle or the driver performing the action of letting passengers out.
