passenger capacity
Maximum rider count
Passenger capacity is the maximum number of people a vehicle, vessel, or venue can legally or safely carry.
Airlines, buses, elevators, and stadiums all have stated passenger capacities.
The term appears in specifications and safety regulations: The ferry has a passenger capacity of 400.
Exceeding capacity creates safety and liability concerns.
