passengers
Those being transported
Passengers are people being transported in a vehicle, vessel, or aircraft without operating it.
A car has a driver and passengers; a plane has pilots and passengers.
The word implies passive conveyance—you're along for the ride.
A passenger seat is the front seat beside the driver.
Figuratively, someone who contributes nothing to a group effort may be called a passenger: He's just a passenger on this project.
