How it's used
Focuses specifically on the act of transporting someone via a vehicle, often implying a service or a planned arrangement. It sounds more formal or functional than simply saying 載, which is the general verb for carrying someone or something. You will often see this on signs or in official contexts regarding shuttle services or school bus arrangements.
Examples
Can you pick me up and drive me home later?
He picks up the kids for school every day.

Common mistake
Do not use this for picking someone up on foot, as it strictly implies the use of a vehicle. For meeting someone on foot, use 接 instead.
