passenger traffic

People in transit

Passenger traffic is the movement of people through a transportation system or facility.

Airlines, railways, and transit authorities measure passenger traffic to assess demand and plan capacity: Passenger traffic at the airport increased 15% over the summer.

The term distinguishes travelers from freight or cargo movements.
