passenger car
Car for people
A passenger car is a railroad car designed to carry travelers rather than freight.
In American usage, it also refers to a standard automobile—a car meant for transporting people as opposed to trucks or commercial vehicles.
The train added three passenger cars to accommodate holiday travelers.
The term distinguishes vehicles by their primary purpose: moving people rather than goods.
